A music industry study produced by NPD Group, claims that 58% of all music in the possession of Americans last year, was shared, stolen, illegally transferred, re-distributed, acquired, open sourced, or whatever other term you want to use for ‘not paid for’.
Four of the guys who run the god of all torrent sites The Pirate Bay have been indicted in Sweden today on charges of being ‘accessories’ to breaking copyright law. The Pirate Bay has faced a huge amount of legal opposition and still to this day remains unharmed; could this case change things? To be honest, I doubt it. These guys are immortal. They wont die. The day The Pirate Bay goes down is the day I will scream Xenu is real into the sky.
I wasn’t expecting this for a long, long time. It seems crazy but pretty much all of the major record companies have signed up for this. Welcome Qtrax - a gnuetta p2p client that is… get this… legal to use. You can download any of your favorite artists songs free. Can I get a hell yes? Now I wont have the thought of being sued by some RIAA fags at the back of my head. You can download Qtrax tonight at midnight, and it is open to the whole of the US and the EU. Awesome. The only catch is there are advertisements on the client, but meh, who cares. Free stuff and legal. Good enough for me.
