From the article:

"I believe we need the technology experts, the computer industry, the peer-to-peer industry, the software industry, the entertainment industry, the privacy experts and the business experts to come together"
I like how "customers" doesn't appear in this list.
"We need to find other ways to solve the problems rather than issuing lawsuits and lobbying Congress to pass tougher laws."
What, is this guy some kind of Communist or something? Lawsuits and lobbying are right up there with baseball and apple pie...
