p2pnet news | P2P:- The auld grey corporate heads who control the entertainment spindustries figured by closing down, and/or subverting, legitimate companies legitimately marketing P2P file sharing applications, they could stop the clock, turn back the tide and remain locked safely in the 1970s when they ruled artists and consumers alike with an iron hand.

The movie and music moguls continue to live out their dazed existences in a foggy dreamland, believing they have everything under control.

But change, not stasis, rules and the rest of the world moves on around them, innovators coming up with endless streams of open source technologies and applications.

With music, Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG believe they’ve effectively stopped progress in its tracks by killing the competition and suing their own customers, who are showing alarming signs of thinking for themselves instead of following corporate dictates.
