Music exists for many millennia and it was doing fine before the copyright laws and MPAA. If there is anything useful music organisations have done it was to distribute music world wide. So I guess now that we have a distribution superiour to that, the music industry has to go. It must be as it was 200, 500 and thousands of years before. When an artist makes art of cultural value it no longer belongs to him, but to the whole society. People who make music can still make shit loads of money by doing concerts and signing t-shirts and boobs.

Well they need not limit their revenue to that.
From what I've heard, a lot of indie bands have posted their music online for free, and when people figure out they like it, they'll buy a CD for the sole purpose of supporting the band.
But I do agree that with the advent of the internet, the record industry is completely obsolete. The movie industry almost is as well, but won't be completely useless until the majority of populated countries have FiOS-grade bandwidth.

TPB is a great smoke screen to keep the anti-piracy assholes away from the private trackers.
quekmeister:
Oh Norway...
AceHigh:
Hah, he did upset a lot of lobbyists.
The really cool thing is that while time is passing more and more politicians will be from a new generation who have downloaded music themselves for their whole life. I really think this is the final years of music lobbying in Scandinavia. Hopefully Europe will follow and after that Asia as well... maybe one day even USA as well.

At least those money hogging bastards arent going after aXXo. And in the VERY UNLIKELY event thepiratebay does go down, i bet 50 bucks and all the shiat i have downloaded that another tracker will spring up to take their place. LONG LIVE THE PIRATE BAY!!!!!
