here's an idea ... get as many artists (is not vampire "bizness" types) as possible to "out themselves" as illegal downloaders, or at very least say they disagree w/ these proposals, w/ a petition or something + maybe this'd shut these fuckers up for a while ... i'm a musician, i don't make vast sums of money or nuthin, but i do get royalties from sales ... i know a load of other musicians, of varying degrees of "profesionalism", and pretty much all of them have downloaded music they want to hear, and don't disapprove of others doing the same to their music.
I know what this portends, mind = schism betwixt industry + artists .... but that's a good thing, right?
