Downloading - What People Are Saying






The RIAA has done an amazing job
of monopolizing the discussion
about downloading, in large part
by spending millions of dollars
on lobbying and "public relations".
With a little bit of Googling, though,
one can find instances where voices
other than the Industry's register.

Here's a poll from that hotbed
of radical opinion...
Billboard Magazine.





...where it seems that the Industry's opinion
is in the minority.









Over at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,
they posed a question about the imposition
of fees/a tax on digital memory...








...where again, the Industry's solution
was not seen as desirable.







by a fairly substantial margin.

Meanwhile, around the web
there are more radical opinions,
of course... the Industry has something
of an image issue.














- and the beat goes on -
