In 2007, The Consumerist Web site held a series of online polls to find America’s worst company. Coming in second place was Halliburton, with 6,931 votes. So who was first? Here’s a hint: It’s the same company that wants to make your Internet Service Provider charge a piracy fee on your monthly Internet bill. Give up?
Why, it’s the Recording Industry Association of America – the RIAA, of course. Coming in at 8,079 votes, the “Worst Company in America 2007†wants to make everyone who pays for a connection to the Internet pay a fee of about $5 a month to compensate for lost revenues due to online music piracy, according to Wired.com.
