Music Labels Let Out Just A Few Free Downloads

from the missing-the-point dept

Is it any surprise that the music industry doesn't get it? They seem to think that offering a few free downloads for a single day will "win back" customers from using file sharing tools. The problem is, those downloads are chosen by the music labels, and are only available for that one day. What people are looking for is a service that lets them share music with others, find out other artists they like, and doesn't put restrictions on them.

    I guess if I download the file they'll get my IP address and can port scan the s**t out of my computer to make sure I haven't violated their laws.
