Hi folks I just read in disbelief: "A federal jury Thursday found a 32-year-old Minnesota woman guilty of illegally downloading music from the Internet and fined her $80,000 each -- a total of $1.9 million -- for 24 songs." http://edition.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/18/minnesota.music.download.fine/ Ok, it was probably stupid of her to pretend she did not download anything. But still - with 2Mio.$ there is something terribly wrong here... In recent years, I kind of felt inclined to buy less and less major label music. I often prefer to get music from people I know personally or I see on gigs, most of them are not major label. There is a lot of Indie music out there to keep me happy for quite a while. It seems to me that major labels are forgetting one important thing: It's supposed to be FUN to buy & listen your favorite music. But I don't enjoy it so much anymore with all these stories... I won't be reading any mails this week-end - still, felt like writing this. Am I the only one who finds these news disturbing? best regards Buzap -- GMX FreeDSL Komplettanschluss mit DSL 6.000 Flatrate und Telefonanschluss für nur 17,95 Euro/mtl.!* http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02
