Apparently the music and entertainment industryhas -NO- scruples. Not surprising. I wonder if they've thought of the legal hot water they'll now find themselves in after they allow -digital original content that they did not author or create- to be erased. All it will take is just one artist to complain to the feds that his art was treated as trash and disposed of without informing him. Just wait. Artists rights indeed. Original content protection indeed. Just another example of corporations that are only in it for the money. I see a landmark FEDERAL "fair use" legal case coming squarely at those crimmy music industry execs. |

1 edit | They are covered by the agreement the artists had to sign upon joining mp3.com - basically they exchanged free space, CD duplication & bandwidth for a commission. MP3.com reserved the right to terminate the agreement at any point.
I miss the good or odd stuff I'd find on mp3.com |

That's too funny! You are alleging that ERASING music is illegal?? Even funnier, you purport that it would NOT be illegal for the same company to make copies of files they did not own or create!!
Did you even think this through before posting?
