Good & short op-ed piece from the Guardian about how music companies should be changing their business model instead of suing their customers:

“All of this could have been so different if the music industry had seized the opportunity presented by the internet over the last 10 years. Every user could by now have effortless access to all of the music ever published.

Artists could have received royalties from a vastly expanded marketplace. Instead, their employers have expended all of their energy suing their customers and lobbying for increasingly harsh copyright laws.”
