On Friday Nettwerk Music Group made (some) headlines when it announced it was pay the legal fees of a person sued by the RIAA for suspected copyright infringement. (One of the suspected songs on the defendent's computer was by Nettwerk artist MC Lars.)

Digital Music News adds a new wrinkle to the story this morning. Nettwerk CEO Terry McBridge was a host on Bob Lefsetz's radio program on 97.1 KLSX in Los Angeles, it reports, and told the audience he has since been contacted by several executives who would like to join his cause. The end goal, says the post, is to "shame" the RIAA and bring an end to the lawsuits against consumers.

Who these executives are and how public they will be in their opposition is the million dollar question. The unified front is obviously cracking, but who will show their faces?
