With all due respect... 5 billion files times $0.00 is ZERO What Apple is doing 110 million files sold X $.99 is A LOT better than anything the P2P networks has ever done for these artists you're apparently defending. (They get a small cut of that $.99 song) Explain to me exactly how Apple is evil and p2p networks are some wild, organic fuzzy happy place? “But far from indicating a glittering alliance which’ll ultimately brighten the lives of music lovers everywhere, it’s further proof that the corporate sector has absolutely no idea: that there are two digital media worlds – the Real and the Unreal which are, respectively, what’s actually happening and what Big Music and entities such as Apple wish was happening.”

Let's not kidd ourselves, millions are using p2p to avoid having to pay for their music. It is simple as that. In the process the artist does not get paid and in the long run it is the artist that suffers. Yes, p2p can be held responsible because Congress should and will pass laws to discourage thiefs.

Go to Wal-Mart and steal a CD and call it CD Sharing because you really intended to return it. I am tried of the p2p people trying to justify not paying artists.
