You love the fact that these might be innocent people going through this? You studying to be a copywrite lawyer? That's the only way somebody could see something positive about what is happening to that family.
Man, I'm all for protection of the artist, but the music industry has been raping the public and it's own artists for too long. I myself look forward to the day where the industry is dead and stinking and the artist themselves are making the money by selling through their own sites only. I'm glad that 90% of the bands I listen to have no part of the major labels. I've had my stuff sold behind my back by somebody making copies of my CD's. He was charging $20 per disc. I told him to lower the price to $5, as the quality wasn't worth the $20. If the industry really cared about the artists that they are supposedly trying to protect, they would give the artist a larger share of the sale, let the artist control their material more, and they would also maybe promote more of the bands.
The girls biggest offense is a s***ty taste in music.
i've bought 25 albums in 2006...i've downloaded more now then ever in my life...i've bought about 5 times the albums now then i would have normally...none were of a major label except for matador (which is debatable)...indie record labels are loving these lawsuits...their share of the market has increased over the past 5 years
