This is a huge win for networks and ISP's. According to the findings of the lawsuit Companies like Verizon are not responsible for what data travels over their network. This should also effect cases where ISP's were being sued for hosting certain types of websites. While it doesn't overturn the DMCA it is a giant step toward protecting free speach.
The problem is you are using the wrong tools. For music Soulseek is the only place to go. I can download 5 full 256 kbit albums in a single night with no problem. Also I am not stuck into mainstream acts like the White Stripes and The Strokes. I use the money I save not buying albums to really support the bands by going to there shows. I would much rather support the artist than give my money to the RIAA. If I really must have a cd copy ill buy that while im at the show. 100 percent of the money I spend on Music goes to the artist. Most of the artists I know support my method of contribution to their art.
is corporate whistleblowers. I am sure that before the smoking industry was caught no one would have believed that they were deliberately marketing to children. I think it is naive to assume that because it is a large corporation that it cannot be involved in conspiracy. It would be nice if someone on the inside were to reveal documentation of corporate misdeeds.
