They're not just destroying THEIR own industry (which is a good thing), but they're busily discrediting everything from copyright to corporate 'personhood' in the process. Thing is, I also think that's pretty groovy. Like I’ve been saying, the more they do idiotic nit-picking bullshit like this, the less people will take copyright seriously in ANY context.

They ASSUME no one will question their claims about who they represent, and then, what do you know, they get checked and caught in the lie!! I would say that their stupidity never ceases to amaze me, but that would no longer be true. Greedy, obnoxious bastards all!! and btw, share the wealth!! ;) Her contact with Paul Simon just shows exactly the kind of lying bullshit the music industry believes

This equates to around 160,000 kronor ($23,400) per track. According to IFPI, which represents the recording industry worldwide, 40 billion music files were illegally copied during 2008. If every track was worth 160,000 kronor it would mean that the total damages would amount to 6.4 billion kronor. When sales of music peaked in the beginning of the 2000s, total revenues from record sales amounted to $27 billion, according to the same organization. The purported losses incurred by file sharing which the damages claims were based on were thus 30,000 times larger that what record sales had generated." Shouldn't that be 640 trillion (640, 000, 000, 000, 000 = 40, 000, 000, 000 Songs * 160, 000 kronor/song) kronor? “In the spring a court in Boston instructed Jim Tenenbaum to pay $675,000 in compensation to the five music companies – of which Universal was one – which had sued him for downloading 30 songs from the file sharing site Kazaa.
