I can't be the only one who remembers Yoda beating R2D2 with a stick and stealing Luke's candybar. I can think of many reasons that the recent Star Wars movies are no good, but this one doesn't fly.
Ultimately, P2P will be an unstoppable form of data transfer. Everything that has been said about Napster has been said about vhs, casette tapes, even records. We have to face facts and understand that the world changes, and musicians will have to deal with that fact as much as anyone else. A new business model for music will have to evolve, but one will evolve. The only ones hurt are current musicians in the short term, and organisations like the RIAA and MPAA... By protecting the musicians of today, we hurt our own children, who will have to make the admittedly painful but necessary step into freely available music.
