The article implies that the movie industry isn't bothered by file sharing, or at least it glides over that point.
And the music industry is lowering prices, as the movie industry did, after first fighting copying and fair use in the courts.
So really, this is deja vu all over again, and the sad part is that the music industry learned nothing from the imbroglios of the movie industry.
The movie industry can be excused for miscalculating, since it was reacting to something new. The music industry can only be excused for being culturally and legally unread.
And I'll never forgive the music industry for standing in the way of more Monk/Coltrane records.
