I think my post over here (http://rez-lo.livejournal.com/87495.html#cutid1) is probably the source. The connection is between Hilary Rosen, who built the RIAA and who now heads the Showtime/CBS-sponsored fansite OurChart.org, and FanLib, whose "test case" for their business model was a project for them (the site is for the television show The L Word).
That connection basically suggests that the big media companies are hoping to duplicate the RIAA's strategy to clamp down on any copyright use that doesn't make them money. I've added a longer reply below. Henry Jenkins (link below) also sums up the fears really well in his current article on the whole thing.
