I've been meaning to put down my thoughts on the mp3 thing down in some lucid form, but my old buddy James just let me know that writer Orson Scott Card has already spoken my thoughts for me:

He pretty much nails it. When the record industry says they're protecting artists, it's a hideous lie that no one should believe. When artists say the industry is looking out for them, they're being fooled. I don't see how anyone working in the record industry could not realize that it's the record companies that are hurting them by forcing them to sign up for indentured service or not play the game.

If you get a chance to catch Tech TV's forum on music sharing, Chuck D pretty much owned the ass of everyone there.
