Right, it's extortion on a level which makes your head spin. Perhaps now is an appropriate moment for artists to counter sue these music corporations for extorting them. I find it bewildering that the music labels would pursue this course of action when the largest aspect of the battle being waged is a pr battle and on that level, they couldn't have possibly scored a bigger own goal. I do stand by what I said regarding every criminal action like this leading to a reaction from most people which only reaffirms their hate and in turn ratchets up the level of defiance. In fact when the music conglomerate decided to focus their attentions on Pirate Bay, what happened within the space of a day was the number of people who downloaded pirate bay increased markedly. I think this is just indicative of why the music labels can not win their battle with extortion, threatening behaviour and hardcore draconian policies. The only way they can win this is to give everyone a fairer deal, that means stop screwing the artists, recognise that downloading has created a much larger profit margin to be achieved because of the elimination of so many costs that go hand in hand with conventional distribution systems and therefore have this reflected in the prices. I still see albums costing 10.00 (sterling) to download, that figure is crazy.

As it is this is just another self inflicted wound by the music industry and if they don't recognise the landscape in which they are operating in, they certainly won't hit a main artery but they will continue to suffer.

[S P I C E]

Hopefully this case makes it's way to the Supreme Court so this waste of time BS case can be thrown out.  What a joke this is!

they could have adapted to it more, in stead of turning their backs to it.

lol thats a bit excessive


why is our court system hearing this shit?

it is illegal though.  It is stealing.  That music was created by somebody else and it's being stolen.  It's killing the music industry... no telling how much great music is not going to ever be created because of it.  I'm serious, I know we like gettin free shit, but you got to be real, how is it any different from walking in a record store and stealing?
