brilliant!
i would rant about filesharing but i honestly dont know where to start...
It hasn't damaged the industry, people arn't buying as much media because we are in the middle of a rescession, if they stopped me file sharing i wouldn't decide i absolutly need to buy the new britany spears album i just do without it.
I will always pay money for the things I think are worth it, if their not I may download the one good single off the album, sorry for stealing the 99p it would have cost off Itunes.
but then even if I didn't download it, i could still hear it legally any time i want on Last fm or similar. the only difference is i have the freedom to listen to it when im not near a computer.
The only thing I really use torrents for are tv shows / anime, stuff that i could watch on tv a couple of days later, i just prefer to keep up to date with the american air date. why should i get my internet shut off for that? also there are a lot of perfectly legal applications for file sharing, they can't possibly monitor everyones incomings and outgoings so how will they know what is intelectual property and what is freeware?
I suspect at the end of the day I doubt it will happen, ISP is a lucrative business, if they shut down the internet then the ISPs arn't going to be getting £50 a month for my broadband connection, and they arn't going to like that at all...
oh what do you know, guess i did manage to rant... sorry

Where record sales are down, ticket sales for gigs are at an all time high. Any musician worth their salt should be able draw a live crowd and make a living from it.
