Comments on: Kazaa owners may face time in jail

Australian record industry initiates contempt proceedings against the masterminds behind the file-sharing software.

ridiculous

There are plenty of other ways to illegally share copyrighted material. Why not jail the Xerox management team, or the makers of FTP software, or companies who write CD-burning software? It is outrageous to hold the makers of software responsible for how it can be used to break the law!

Exactly

I hear the inventor of the crowbar is up next because people have used it to break into cars and houses.

Big deal...

If I only had to go to jail for a short time, but still keep millions of dollars I had made by exploiting users privacy, I'd do it!

ARIA

ARIA(aussie version of the RIAA), has lost the plot!

Oh well, remember this, that this industry needs it's customers, yet treats them all as thieves SONY BMG style!

With the modern internet reaching to the far corners of the globe, this means, that any/or all recording artists can now retail direct to their customers and fans! So who needs the greedy middlemen who steal from all, to fatten their stipends!

Alas, ARIA, is now rapidly losing all relevance in the modern world, for the customer, now no longer needs them or their crooked mafia ways and criminal theft from both the artist(underpayment of royalties and diversion of same for these grand phony schemes, award nights etc and the customer(hijacking personal computers with illegal software etc)!
