I've heard the same thing, Brian -- usually from salespeople, who
often believe that repeating it can make it true. I'm not sure it's
such a great strategy in this case, however, although I suppose it
allows the RIAA to save some face.

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). He was in sales/business development and extremely good at it.

This works often not only in business in all sorts of fields (look at Rove's tactics in the U.S.).

Looks like the RIAA is just a follower of that philosophy.
