Youths may not be aware of how corrupt the music industry is, so I offer a primer:
Payola is an illegal payment and payola absolutely dominates the radio industry. Radio DJs earn squat and get huge illegal payments -payola - to only play what organized crime wants played on radio. Thus all stations play the same "unliterate" crap. This explains Rap being force-fed to whites. Sony Execs as recently as five years ago anonymously said payola is necessary for doing what amounts to destroying our culture and corrupting our youth. Under Clinton this was cool.
This person-to-person stuff is legal because it is not the original recordings and no effort is made to earn cash or actually diminish earnings of the big music companies. The big music companies are greedy and want more, so they see things differently. What else is new?
I believe that the big companies are doing these illegal and/or rude peer-to-peer infringements now. They justifiably fear court actions and other customer reactions. So they pay these for-hire politicians to help.
Lastly, firewalls, etc. are legal now. If these pop music scum get their way, firewalls will not be legal. Think about that...
