This is also an interesting article , if true on the ground, the trend to not illegally share is increasing, which is helpful support on longer term aims.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I like many, many other people inside our industry do not agree with unauthorised file sharing (music, films, books) at any level.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What we all will consider (including the artists) is controlled giveaways and promotional copies being given away to the real music fans (attending paid gigs) and any other choices made by the right holders or artists, as and when, they decide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I believe at the end of the day no pirate/file sharing serial abuser <strong>is going to stop legitimate and managed legislation coming into effect</strong> simply because some hysterically claim a right to want to own more free stolen goods.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>How about sharing your very own wages first? We might then start a utopian free-for-all.</strong> </span>deep recordinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06132344881534317605noreply@blogger.com19
