matter Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Come on this is rediculous. The music industry is trying to scare everyone into not downloading any music but I won't stand for it. I've downloaded lots of music since they started this bullshit. I hate them. They can't stop people from doing things like this. 15 dollars for a CD, yeah right.

YT2095 Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I agree with them all 100%! they should remove all books from Libraries too, how DARE folk go in there and read things for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 record companies have been keeping their cd prices high for years now. el reg has an article on this somewhere on the front page because Universal Music has just decided to lower their cd prices. To be quite honest, the true reason that the companies' profits are dropping is the fact that they churn out a lot of crap. Most of what's in the top 100 is completely rubbish. And they expect people to buy these records/albums at ridiculously inflated prices - which, to be honest, a lot of people can't be bothered doing. They've had it good for twenty years or so, but refuse to change their business model and refuse to exploit the business potential of internet music sharing. Instead they try to subdue it with subpoenas. I think the phrase 'adapt or die' springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 And now they're starting a campaign to villify p2p because people trade child porn on it. While they're at it, they should apply the same argument to e-mail, www, newsgroups, ftps, irc, etc. Come to think of it, mp3s are shared on all those systems too... it's only a matter of time before they start lobbying to have the whole internet outlawed.

fafalone Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,96797,00.html NEW YORK — The music industry has turned its big legal guns on Internet music-swappers — including a 12-year-old New York City girl who thought downloading songs was fun. What's even more interesting about this story is how it brings bias in the major US news companies out. CNN (owned by AOL Time Warner) is not carrying the story, CBS (Viacom), ABC (Disney), are all pro-RIAA and not carrying this story, while Fox News, the New York Post, Newsday, and The Register are all carrying it.
