Kazaa CEO vs. Hilary Rosen

Carpoolio writes "TechTV is continuing its good coverage of the RIAA attack on file swappers, and now they've gone to Australia to interview Nikki Hemming, CEO of Sharman Networks (Kazaa). It's supposedly one of the only TV interviews she's ever done, and Hemming has some interesting things to say about Hilary Rosen and the RIAA, and the future of Kazaa, but without revealing too much. In TechTV's story (part of a three-part series), they've pitted the two against each other, using a recent interview they did with Rosen. Streaming video of the Rosen interview is included on the site."

    Yeah, but that's what you get when you buy a CD too, a much too loud abomination of what the artist recorded.

    Couldn't agree more.

    you shouldn't take quotes out of context.
    most of the songs downloaded on kazaa are poor quality mp3s, so the people get 'a crappy quality song', at least in comparison with whats on CDs

    however, no matter how often a song is downloaded, its quality wont change, unlike copying from tapes, or other analog media
