Why the War Against File-Sharing is Unwinnable
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's a final, "strategic" point: every time the music industry kills an
| underground distribution channel, a more efficient one arises in its place.
| Goodbye mixtapes, hello www. Bye www, hello Napster. Bye Napster, hi
| BitTorrent. Bye BitTorrent, hi anonymous, ciphered, totally decentralized p2p
| nets.
|
| Why? By limiting the supply of interaction, the music industry is only
| ensuring that each interaction becomes more and more efficient. The endgame
| is a distribution system where every song in the world in the world can be
| zapped invisibly and anonymously from me to you in a nanosecond.

Entertainment Industry Really Really Really Wants To Believe Pirate Bay Verdict
Is A Win
,----[ Quote ]
| As was easily predicted when The Pirate Bay verdict came out last Friday, the
| entertainment industry celebrated it as a big win. Amusingly, Arts+Labs, one
| of many, many entertainment industry lobbying groups (and run by a guy, Mike
| McCurry, who thinks that Google doesn't pay a dime for its bandwidth), was
| quick to praise the decision, with McCurry claiming that this is a turning
| point and that people will now realize that file sharing is "something both
| dangerous, criminal, and unfair." (I'll let the grammar nazis figure out
| which two of three things he meant when he said "both").

Why Google Is The New Pirate Bay
,----[ Quote ]
| "Google doesn't call itself 'The Pirate Google,'" Garland says. "If the
| number of queries looking for copyrighted works is massive, that's only
| because the number of searches on Google in general is massive."

Are Pirates Driving Legal Music Sales?
,----[ Quote ]
| To anyone who knows anything about how music fans like to consume music this
| will be no shock, but to those at the RIAA (who know nothing about music or
| culture) hopefully this will be a wake up call.
