they are only victims of their own stupidity–if you are lawsuit # 1, maybe you’re a victim–if you are #10,000, you know the risks involved

you’d have to live in a hole to not know about RIAA lawsuits, and very few holes are wired with electricity and internet

It is indeed my hope that they get their wish. That is that no one shares any of their music ever again. That no one hears it anymore. Mainly, that no one wants it anymore. In such a manner they will sue themselves into obscurity. With that obscurity will come the need to sell it off to someone else. Since the majors haven't a clue that times have changed and their music is only worth that much to themselves it should be time for someone else to figure out that money can be made by cheaper sales, that the product doesn't have to user unfriendly, and that customers have faces, needs, and wants. This made problem they claim of everyone stealing their product is only in their minds. Problem is that they haven't had the robust music sales ever since non-music oriented companies bought them out and turned it over to the accountants to run. With accountants it is never about quality or art, it is about cost. Had it been about costs when Dark Side Of The Moon was recorded, it would not have remained in the charts for 14 years running. That is part of the music industries woes today. If it don't fit the computer model of what might be a hit it ain't done. As a result, we have cookie cutter sounds and the customers are drifting away from it. It is more that the new artists have been cut to the bone, far less new releases are going out, and far less new music is heard from commercial stations. With that going on, it isn't people stealing their stuff, it is the majors not able to figure out what the market is and addressing it. People are leaving commercial music in doves as it doesn't do anything for them anymore. The result is that people aren't spending money on overpriced 30 year old music anymore. It isn't new and it isn't worth the price. It’s a shame that these folks are financially terrorised.
