I mainly collect it as who has sufficient time to listen to it all even once? I can see it turning into trading and selling if not for Internet. We can only hope. So really they're better off not opposing file sharing as that takes longer and exposes people to new music, saving the cost of promoting, and reaching a greater audience. Discographies are very limited in scope and quality, so people are made aware of music to look for when shopping. As regards full disclosure, I can't see that happening, or anything being done about it. We'll see. Certainly something must be done about them however. They're loose cannons on society. Litigation is business as usual for them, and the courts put up with it because it keeps all the lawyers in business and helps justify their existence.

However something like this can open a whole can of worms for them and help to highlight the corrupt links within government that allows them to carry on like this, hush money, the lot. Perhaps it'll result in a national scandal which will sort out this whole problem, who knows? At least we can say that the tables are turning and it's not the whitewash it was at the start. (grin) "Files shared = sales lost." Christ that's an insult to the intelligence. (angry) @Dreddsnik

As I see it right now, they really should be suing for pennies =) The day people aren’t outraged for paying 5k settlement per song is when songs cost 5k.

They’re not nailed yet.

Not only can they easily afford these court sanctioned extortion tactics …

About time those fuckers got nailed for extortion. "Each file shared is a lost sale" Yeah, right. At last some of those bastards are gonna go to prison for this and perhaps a label or two will completely die. Let the court cases commence. These are good times. Whoa - awesome!
