Below is part of a comment posted today about another story on P2Pnet. It’s what I was referring to.

“I can also get all the music I could ever listen to by recording from shoutcast radio stations.”

“Kill all P2P?? Why is it you suppose that RIAA et al not only want to kill copyright infringement on p2p but P2P apps/networks themselves??”

IMHO this is about market control. In the past (before popularity of P2P) the big 5 music cabal would pick artists, promote them, get them played on the radio (anybody who thinks payola is dead is living in a dream world…) and then press the “product” to meet the created need/desire. Now with P2P people are hearing all kinds of music they would never have heard before. Even if P2P users where to actually BUY CDs (like they don’t?) they want all this stuff that is not necessarily on big music’s front burner ready to be gobbled up at the music store. How inconvenient for them! Once this little P2P mess is cleaned up their next targets will be internet radio and gasp, all this FREE (”legit”) music on the net. How can they possibly compete with FREE? Ever hear that one before?

oh gawd, I see another virus vs anti-virus battle beginning here. Even if it is 99% effective (which I doubt) it’ll only be that way until the next release of P2P software. Plus, can’t these jerks get litigated for breach of software license when they use the P2P software in that manner??

Kill all P2P?? Why is it you suppose that RIAA et al not only want to kill copyright infringment on p2p but P2P apps/networks themselves??

Why it’s because eventually artists will wake up to the fact that they can cut the bloodsuckers right out of the loop and distribute w/out them, now that possibility is a ways off right now, but best to eliminate any possibility of it happening, and to do that they have to destroy or control the channels of distribution. Therefore all P2P nets must be quashed, unless RIAA endorsed (owned). They are pathetically transparent in their fear.
