		<description><![CDATA[Like most anti-piracy lobbying organizations, the RIAA knows how to "spin" things around. They protect the rights of a large group of record labels and distributors, and their ability to spin and their lawsuits are two of the most powerful weapons they have. <p>Source: <a href="http://torrentfreak.com">TorrentFreak</a>, for the latest info on <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/category/copyright-issues/">copyright</a>, <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/category/pirate-talk/">file-sharing</a> and <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-services-take-your-anonymity-seriously-2014-edition-140315/">anonymous VPN services</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com//images/riaatruth.jpg" align="right" alt="riaa truth survey">Over at <a href="http://p2pnet.net/story/11902">P2Pnet</a>, Jon has put together a survey about these &#8220;Sultans of Spin&#8221;. I must note that the readers of P2Pnet, TorrentFreak and Zeropaid and other filesharing oriented websites are probably not a representative group of respondents for the entire online population, but it will be still interesting to see the results.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://p2pnet.net/story/11902">P2Pnet</a>:</p>
<p><code>I think it's the first survey of its kind and obviously, the more people who respond, the better. So please tell everyone you know about it.</code></p>
<p><code>Spin is the, "sometimes pejorative term signifying a heavily biased portrayal in one's own favor of an event or situation," the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_relations#Spin">Wikipedia</a> sums it up, continuing, spin, "often, though not always, implies disingenuous, deceptive and/or highly manipulative tactics." And it's, borrowed, says the post, "from ball sports such as cricket, where a spin bowler may impart spin on the ball during a delivery so that it will curve through the air or bounce in an advantageous manner".</code></p>
<p><code>The Sultans of Spin examines spin-doctoring in the pejorative sense --- the art of presenting stuff as it isn't.</code></p>
