we might have some simil;ar research issues- can you please contact me at minnesota_slim@hotmail.com? I am researching the legal aspects of copyright issues as they relate to P2P filesharing and one important topic for me is whether the RIAA can still claim to promote creativity. Please contact me if to discuss.

As part of what I do, I'm researching the Music Industry and their history, and I can tell you that they don't have the guts to assume their totalitarian digital police role completely. It already happened a few decades back, and the result of their copyright complaining was that independent artists got a chance. They know perfectly well that independent labels and artists are ready to make themselves known through the media, and are anxious to free themselves from the monopoly.

Perhaps at some point I'll post a thread with the evidence and historical references, so you can dare them and say: "You greedy b@!$~@!s, I dare you make the same mistake again!" Maybe before I finish my Ph.D.

Legal Arguments
Hi

I would tell the sharman legal team that the argument they should make is that record companies charge artists for distribution to encourage popularity. This incurs a cost that has to have an effect on the end price of a cd. Sharman should simply argue that they offer a distribution service free of charge that would eventually result in the reduction of CD cost to the consumer and therefore should actually be entitled to a percentage of sales.
