Radio head is testifying against the RIAA because they are actually using that 90% to try and destroy a distribution method that does a better job of promoting them and pays artist more even if a majority (60%) freeload
What is worse is they are pretending they are doing for the artist benefit.

If they are no longer under contract, they can do whatever they want.
But to testify against the people that made you a multimillionaire is a little low class. They got rich and never risked a penny of their own money. That's a pretty sweet deal and one you will not find anywhere else except the music business. Go to Wall Street and try to find a deal like that. You may not know this but the record companies finance many artists who never make any money and they take a loss on those. It was not written in stone that Radiohead would be a success when the record companies dumped money into them.
