Change is change, either you embrace it and innovate yourself or just shut up! This is a tsunami you can’t stop.
Lily’s righteous pose just make me gag, what a hypocrite. If she didn’t use the free nature of MySpace to launch her initial recordings, did she think she could have landed the contract with Regal Recordings, in no small amount thanks to the listeners and tens of thousands of comments left on the site?
Immediately I can see big problems arise from the attempt to patrol internet traffic. Number 1 is privacy issue of end users and punishing someone with a link to an IP address without a fair trial or search warrant topples the fundamental human right of innocent until proven guilty. Think how easy it is to fake a screenshot of an IP address of a BitTorrent or p2p client.
Also, private/public Wi-Fi is never secured enough anyway. “Who’s going to be blamed if someone logs on at an internet café and downloads copyrighted materials?” wrote blogger Kite09.
As blogger ChrisJWOwen voiced: “The vast majority of music is … a rehash of other music that went before …” All harsh legislation will do is drive file-sharing underground and make it harder to curtail, just like back in the Prohibition era.
iTunes and Spotify are legit and users don’t have to resort to stealing if the music can be enjoyed with little or no money. People should have the right to listen to a track before buying to make sure the song isn’t a dud and if they truly love it, they will still buy.
Again, not all CDs contain great songs, often there are only one or two good ones, so freedom to the music lovers and their right to download!
