Misled Musicians Complaining To The Government
from the oh,-you-and-your-poor-wallet dept
The music industry sent various musicians up to the California state senate to whine about the dangers of downloaded music. The quotes in the article are a bit scary. They run from the basic "downloading is theft" to calling this a "cancer". I'm sorry. Listening to music is a cancer? Getting to hear music that we might never have heard otherwise is immoral? Finding out about wonderful bands that don't necessarily have a huge recording contract is "strip mining... our cultural heritage"? The scariest part of the article is that no one seems to question these claims.
