Full Version: Record Companies Lose Big
nice. (eh?)
Yes. Things are starting to shape up pretty well here in Canada.
The ruling specifically stipulates that having a file in the shared directory of a program like Kazaa or Winmx is NOT distribution, and therefore not a violation of copyright law.
This in conjunction with the Harvard study showing no impact on cd sales should set these jerks back a bit. At least in Canada anyway.
They make me sick, guys. They claim millions in lost revenue due to file sharing, then claim the same losses against bootleggers selling copied cd's.
They claim the poor artists are losing money when in fact new artists are forced to sign contracts that amount to indentured servitude.
Assholes.......
