P2P Music Sharing Remains Popular Despite RIAA

Posted by michael on from the cultural-mores-not-subject-to-top-down-control dept.

KarmaOverDogma writes "The New York Times reports that the RIAA's attempts to cut down on (music) file sharing are slow to show any effect, as much of the public still considers the activity to be useful and/or acceptable. P2P filesharing activity has decreased very little since they began their end-user legal campaign."

    This approach has worked wonders for the "War on Drugs". How many people are "criminals" because they dared have a few grams of pot on them?

    Ever seen the destruction to lives caused by those few grams of pot? No... I didn't think so.

    Think before you post.

    Funny you should mention watching Gilligan's on an HDTV. Mark Cuban, owner of HDnet broadcasting company (and the Dallas Mavericks and otherwise .com bazillionare) has announced that he is acquiring the rights to the original film stock for shows like Gilligan's and I Dream of Genie, etc and will be making high-def remasters of those show for broadcast on HDnet. Myself, I can't wait to see Mary-Ann's short shorts in hi-def.
