Record labels seek OK for P2P sabotage


Recommended Posts

From CNN:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Frustrated by the continuing presence of free music on the Internet, the recording industry asked for Congress' blessing on Thursday to gum up the online networks they blame for slowing their sales.

Congress is considering expanded legal protection for record labels who resort to sabotage in their ongoing battle with "peer to peer" networks that allow users to freely trade music, movies and other copyrighted material.

The recording industry offered a glimpse into its tactics, which include blocking transfers and flooding the network with dummy songs, and promised a House of Representatives subcommittee that they would not disrupt the Internet or reach into individuals' computers.

Ya know, if the music industry wasn't so corrupt I wouldn't have a problem with this. But when the majority of people complaining are those making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year (and more), then **** like this is just assenine.
