Music Industry to End Mass Lawsuits Against File-Sharers
Finally!! The realization. You can't enforce the un-enforceable. Obviously, I am in favor of file-sharing.

The recording industry project this "artists are starving" sentiment but fail to mention that on average the actual artist who recorded the songs/album only see about $.05 to $.10 per sale. The rest goes to the producers, labels, and others within the recording process. Here is another link showing just how much artists really get from sales. Pretty one sided

Who is really responsible? The dog is infected too... Isn't the dog responsible also? People are willing to blame anybody but themselves for everything.
