Well if we are to go as far as the john deer lawn mower comparison, shouldnt bic be filing lawsuits at ever institutional bank, or an other place that uses pens? Each time a pen is borrowed its potentional sales loss.

^^ “Remember, NOT to buy physical CDs during this holiday period …”

… or digital ‘product,’ or anything else related to the labels or their ‘members’ [http://p2pnet.net/riaa labels.html] or associates, not just at Xmas, but at any time.

Cheers!

Sony BMG sales were down 11% over the same quarter in 2007 as a decline in physical music sales and a lack of big releases led to a $45 million loss. The Warner Music Group suspended dividends Thursday after reporting that higher costs and a shift to digital music resulted in a wider second-quarter loss. For the period ending March 31, the New York-based recording company reported a loss of $37 million EMI Loss Hits $1.2 Billion. Can It Survive? Remember, NOT to buy physical CDs during this holiday period, and they may only be the Big '1' next year, or less. stw

I agree, this is like applying a band-aid to a ‘flesh-eating virus’ infected limb, in which it pretty much wasted the band-aid.

30,000 poor souls on KaZaa who probably didn’t even know they were offering shared files is the proverbial drop in the oceans. Not when compared to the hard-core, internet aware, tech savvy file-sharers that exist. KaZaa is at the bottom of the pyramid, not the top.

Unstoppable? Try Un-discoverable ! You can’t find what you don’t understand.

woops submit that one to quickly just another point to add I like reading Surfers articles keep them coming!

I grew up with filesharing being ingrained in the culture; Napster was the hit. If it weren’t for release groups Im not sure how much quality material would have been around. Everyone should know how they function and surfer pretty much sums it up for those who dont understand. release groups such as razor911, axxo are quite popular and therefore have been shadowed by anti-p2p spies. other groups rein in on their popularity through other safer ways of distribution than bigger release groups cherry pick the data to be shared with the masses. This is unstoppable and those who believe they can stop it are delusional.

“Didn’t your mother ever tell you to share-and-share alike”

Apparently not mothers of the suits behind the RIAA/MPAA/BSA/ESA and all other fronts for these extortion syndicates.
