AboutCivil Disobedience, p2p A GENUINE REVOLUTION IS HAPPENING in the way Americans think about music and corporations. Anyone who avoids getting bogged down in the corporate whining, technological minutiae, and legal hairsplitting can see it: peer-to-peer filesharing is a widespread act of civil disobedience, one that could completely transform the music industry. The record companies realize how earthshaking it is for their business model and they're terrified-- their reactions are usually arrogant and self-defeating (e.g. suing 11 year olds) but they at least understand the magnitude of what's happening. Yet somehow the media doesn't. Reporters have managed to dig a pit of confusion for themselves and are dragging everyone else into it. Typical news reports -- the RIAA sues Kazaa, Verizon sues the RIAA, copyright lawyers debate, teenagers crack encryption schemes-- obscure a simple empirical fact: buying a CD just isn't worth it anymore as a way to get music or as a way to support musicians. Millions of people are realizing it and they're just walking away from the music industry.Please don't request the following: 30 Seconds to Mars 311 Cobra Starship Dane Cook Dave Matthews Band, The Dispatch Gym Class Heroes Hawthorne Heights Matisyahu Panic!
