Mr. Mcartney'suit is a natural response to protect art that he's bought as much as art that he's created. Paul has bought the catalogs of many artists as an investment. (I see you played "Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly on your radio station Wednesday at 2pm. That will be a nickel, please.) This is about his investment portfolio, not his unique creations. What I'm seeing is a whole bunch of companies and people who were dedicated to delivering music in a certain way. (If you want my genius artistic vision then you have to buy a CD with 14 helpings of it!) A large portion of music consumers are ignoring the old system for one that the consumer finds more useful.(Screw You. Only tracks 2 and 8 are worth a shit!) And the people who ran the old system are trying to save their asses by suing instead of figuring out how to use the new system. Why sue instead of adapt? Because the consumers can now be more selective and that automatically make Paul's portfolio diminish in worth. If I had his millions, I'd be figuring out how to get my catalog on the net and charge for every viewing. Wait a minute! Don't about 3 million amateur porn stars do that now?
