RIAA Cracked

As mentioned on Politech, the RIAA website was cracked yesterday morning (screenshot). The text reads, in part:

As you are probably aware, the RIAA has been pursuing a policy of preventing this activity in recent months.

We have recently become aware that this approach is yielding only limited results and in some cases may in fact be harming sales and the artists' revenue stream.

The RIAA wishes to apologise for the heavy-handed manner in which the popular chinese site Listen4Ever was closed down, and would like to present the following items for free download as a token of its goodwill. […]

The crack is amusing in itself, especially since it uses the victim’s own site to parody its views. However, I’m most fascinated by the screenshot itself. I’m not sure which OS is running there (OSX, maybe?), but that anti-aliased text sure is beautiful.
