[Principled]

Towards producing and distributing music profitably, I assert that filesharing cannot be stopped with legislation because technology will outpace the law's ability to define and stop the swappers. For this reason, I assert that changing the business model is a way to reduce swapping and to profitably produce and distribute music.

Examples of models have been given on this thread. One even exists.
