Dallas, TX | To quote a Slashdot poster: "The more you tighten your..." "...grip Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your
fingers."
That famous Star Wars analogy is appropriate here. This is
only going to alienate the RIAA in the eyes of the consumer
even more. Many ISPs will simply refuse to go along with it;
those that do will find themselves losing customers. And it
will do nothing to deter filesharing.
The RIAA needs to stop seeing p2p users as the enemy and
instead see them as competition or free publicity for their
music. If they were to adopt a model like that of Allofmp3,
they would make a fortune. Instead they cling to their old
pre-digital technology ways of doing business.

The day will come when those groups will just be a handful that put the "Tipper Gore" ratings out, nothing more. And they won't be making millions off of the backs of others...

| You happen to see the latest brainy idea they are proposing over on Slashdot and Digg?
Settle out of court for less? What a crock of crap! The only reason they want to do that is they can't win it IN court. |
