• When is the music industry going to wake up to the fact that they will not be able to beat piracy?
  Why should the ISP's become the internet police?
  What we are seeing is a democratisation of the music industry, where the small unsigned bands can reach the same audience as the uber-groups, and the industry doesn't like it. They would far rather we listened to their signed acts, and pay for their homogeous music. They want to control how all music is plyed and sold.
  Well, tough.

• Hey Sean
  I just read your article and you raise some interesting points. I think anyone who wants to know what the pros and cons are of this argument should read this article, and then all of teh comments that are posted below. That way you will get both sides of the argument.
  The point I still like to raise is that I feel disenfrachised by the big media players. I don't hear my tase in music being played anywhere, because the pluggers for teh industry are working hard to get their stuff on the radio. And its this kind of attitude which sets me off on the road to downloading. Posted by leancranker, United Kingdom
