I'm not sure it's&lt;br&gt;such a great strategy in this case, however, although I suppose it&lt;br&gt;allows the RIAA to save some face.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mathewi</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2008 09:12:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: When all else fails, declare victory</title><link>http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/05/27/when-all-else-fails-declare-victory/#comment-534754</link><description>A guy I once worked with claimed that the best way to have a huge success was to declare loud and clear for all to hear the success and never waver(regardless of whether there was success or not).
