So the RIAA or whatever their name is are going after actual file sharers, now they're unable to get their mitts on the peer to peer networks.Duh!
These people are utterly stupid if they believe it'll do anything to improve CD sales.
The simple fact is, people aren't spending money on music because the manufactured boy/girl bands and flash in the pan puppet groups being churned out by the record companies are all crap.
Spending millions on taking a handfull of file sharers to court will do nothing to stop file sharers, it'll just prompt the p2p networks to create more secure software. What they should be doing is spending that money on developing and promoting real talent that people will actually care about.
If a band like U2 was to appear today, they would fail completely, because the record companies aren't prepared to invest in real talent, and allow the bands time to develop and mature... simply wanting to make a fast buck. How sad and misguided is that? They blame the p2p networks for falling sales, but when you look back, what's happening now is little different to everyone taping music from the radio a few years back. Anyone with half a brain can see where the real problem lies.
*Shakes head in utter bemusement at such stupidity*
