Music industry raids on Kazaa
An old ex-partner of thequality.com is again in the headlines as music industry lawyers raid both Kazaa and BDE offices (and the homes of key executives) in search of evidence of copyright infringement. I'll be surprised if anything sticks given the track records of these guys. Staying a hair's breadth inside the law, while occaisionally overstepping the line on ethics, appears to be a specialty. Regardless of whether Kazaa survives or not, the music industry is still at war on this one...
Although isn't major label support for P2P monitoring services like Big Champagne (to monitor listener tastes) a bit like sleeping with the enemy?
