" The threat of legal action has done little to deter European
internet users from downloading pirated music and films, according to
a research company. "
There are also a few articles with the same theme but from last year
about the USA , this one is about internet traffic in Europe.
It's the newest one I have seen.
But the common theme in all these types of articles is that they feel
that eventually internet ( pay ) downloading will win out , they feel
that most of you are stupid , and if they continue to treat you as if
you're stupid they will eventually get all your money.
You know they want to raise the price on that one dollar download ,
they're just waiting for the right moment.
And unfortunately a lot of you are in fact going to , or are already
supporting , the new Napster and also Itunes and the others that are
similar.
So maybe the "RIAA and similar trade terrorists" are right.
I don't think they are though.
