It looks like these artists are once again using the Law (and its defects) to make some quick cash.

I would prefer to see artists put some time in making good music, perform concerts, etc. They will make money this way as well as give the customers what they want. But instead, they prefer the RIAA method that does no good what so ever for the public.
:-(

Funny thing is... They're not making such cash! They won't win, will they? I mean, for every site they sue, dozens of improved ones will follow. That is, they're wasting money in so many stupid trials while people keeps on dowloading. Wouldn't it be better to decrease the prices of their records to anything that sounds somewhat reasonable? That's the best anti-piracy issue I can figure out so far. They release their music, we pay for it, everybody is happy. But, hey, it's their business, I'm just a bored customer.

Btw, this mp3.com stuff happened in the US, the same place in which a woman got over 28,000 *MILLION* USD from Philip Morris last week. It's weirdland we're talking about, my friends.

i think their wasting their time on these law suits. sure the people they sue might stop downloading music, but ther are millions more still downloading on each network.
