What I don’t get is why is this ‘file sharing’ even permitted? It’s ruining the recording business profits. I think this is one instance where the laws have yet to catch up to the mighty forces of the internet.

I think a lot of it could be shut down if various governments around the world would cooperate. But these file ‘sharing’ sites can be set up just about anywhere in the world. It’s definitely taken billions out of the music industry over the years and only the artists who can draw good crowds touring do really well.

No, the record industry is finally getting it's long deserved payback.

They were all controlling greedy bastards for years and it finally bit them in the ass.

That would ruin the underground markets in 3rd world Asian countries.
