Can the music business compete with free?
25 March 2004 
"Lawsuits are not imminent in the UK, industry officials insist. But they are threatened."
Detailed overview telling the true state of dirty illegal and
suffocatingly legal P2P. Frankly, with 6 million file sharers in the
UK, the game is lost. Their carrot and stick game is years away from
competing with free, use anywhere downloads.
With BitTorrent, I've downloaded over 4 gigs of music in 5 days. If I had the space I'd try and get an 8 gig DVD of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, but I just don't have that kind of disk space.
Be careful out there though, make sure your firewalls are up and your open ports protected. Read my first day with BT.
