WR - View Single Post - file sharing

To me, there are 2 types of file sharing as seen by the world a.) music and b.) everything else.

The RIAA has made this distinction by suing anyone and everyone it can find. Part of the reason this is happening with the recording industry is that they are really trying to keep their current business model (by not allowing for legal downloads of songs) and partly because artists are releasing so much music so fast that the fans are starting to get sick of the same crap over and over again. The recording industry whines that they're not making enough money rather than focusing on what the people want: better music and a legal way to get a digital version to make more and more "mix" CDs that contain music the consumer wants to hear.
