So we've heard all about the RIAA suing, but whats next...?
We've heard all the latest news and what's happening and why, and tons of people's opinions on the matter, but I am wondering what you guys think is going to be the final outcome. Will music swapping continue to thrive, or will we finally have to pay for all our music?
I think that file sharing is inevitable, it is impossible to overcome the creativity of the thousands and thousands of people who want to do it. The cost is going to remain free or negligable.
I see nothing wrong with downloading music. I never bought CD's before and therefore had $0 input to the music industry, but now because I can download the music and see what I like, I have spent much more money on the music industry. (concerts, tshirts, etc)
They do have a point, that the music is technically copyrighted as theirs and they have every right to sue people for it, but this isn't really ethically right if you think about it, and I think what will end up happening is artists saying enough is enough, and denouncing the RIAA.
what do you think?
