P2P sharing will only stop when it's illegal to share files over a network. ie:NEVER. The music industry has been trying to manufacture a predicatable market for years by force feeding the public fast food equivalent music.This suits them because they can control their revenues better.All the bands that support the actions taken by the music industry would soon rebel once the industry exec's decide that their music needs to sound more 'friendly'!
There are plenty of artists out there with their own music that you can sample, download or purchase online.If we consentrated and supported more pure music created by pure artists not bound by the industry
then perhaps we can side step the whole ridiculous argument! Let's see how much clout the industry would have without the purchasing power of the people they are ripping off!
