Illegal Music

The latest figures from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) shown that 95 per cent of all music downloaded is illegally obtained and unpaid for. Indigenous music industries from Spain to Brazil are collapsing. An independent study endorsed by trade unions says Europe's creative industries could lose more than a million jobs in the next five years. Maybe the message is finally getting through that this isn't just about fewer limos for rich rock stars.

AND THE RIAA THINK THEY WILL STOP THIS WITH LAWSUITS??? 

THE BEST THING TO DO WHEN AN ONCOMING AVALANCHE IS BEARING DOWN ON YOU IS GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY, OR GET BURIED!

Free music, legal or illegal, is the future.  How artist and record companies determined how to monetize it will be the day their 'bottom' lines stabilize and maybe grow.

How any idiot could believe, with current technology, the massive global population could be sued into compliance is beyond logical reasoning.
