| The industry
If the industry wasnt so greedy for so many years (18.99 for a 9 track CD at Harmony House!?!?!?) people wouldnt pirate so much. They have pushed and pushed to hold their own business model, and now its too late. They tried having DRM MP3s, which was also another gigantic failure.
They should have embraced Napster when they had the chance; and opportunity for their music to be heard on every channel available.
Up next, in about 4 years, is the MPAA.
I hope the ISPs never have to play cops. They should be the pipe, not the police of all content over it. |

I have always wondered how many people, because of what Metallica did, P2P'ed their music just to poke them in the eyes, and Na-Na-Nee-Na-Na.

Leaks haven't harmed opening box offices, and I can attest via my 25-year-old tech-savvy daughter that DVD sales still happen in a world where file-sharing is easy.
Hollywood can be so low-tech sometimes.

LOL, Metalica was the first thing I ever downloaded,
back in the days of Napster.
And I did it purely out of spite
(Even though I already had two of their albums) |

Lars Ulrich (the drummer) is the asshole you are speaking of. |

Not me, I already had all their albums that were worth having. Everything from that horrible "Black" album on sucked, and I wouldn't have wasted the time it took to download any of it. |

I also really hope the the ISPs don't become the internet police. I'm sort of suprised that some police organization/union hasn't gotten into this mad brawl of the MAFIAA, piraters, regular internet users, ISPs, and artists. I suppose the 'ISP police' could fall under citizen's arrest laws, but the liability seems too much to risk as the ISP as the ISP would be the one to get charged with whatever, not the MAFIAA. |
