If you have a problem with the numbers you can complain to the IFPI. They came up with them. I just showed how well the music industry, <b> not the recording industry by itself</b>. Maybe next time, you'll actually read what's in text right in front of you instead of what you want to read about recorded music. Hey James read what I said about global music market:

That’s different from just the recorded sales market. If you have a problem with the numbers you can complain to the IFPI. They came up with them. I just showed how well the music industry, not the recording industry by itself.

Maybe next time, you’ll actually read what’s in text right in front of you instead of what you want to read about recorded music.

Sure... if you include "Guitar Center" and EVERY EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER's total revenue, you get to that number. But if you actually read beyond headlines (i know that's difficult for you...) you might actually learn something.. Recorded music sales are 1/10th the number you’ve quoted.

A 'hybrid' approach is what i envision. You're "Free at all costs" is really a smokescreen from some very big tech companies that currently control what you see, how you see it, and then sell any an all personal info they collect on your most intimate lives. If your idea of an "open" internet means you can steal anything you can get your grubby little hands on, then yes.. we're on different sides of the proverbial fence.

YouTube (or any other Web 2.0 website) is definitely a "service provider" under the DMCA. Maybe I'm misreading it, but the author is advocating against the ability for search engines and social media to even legally exist (including things like this blog). It's scary that people would even consider such things, but it is not surprising to me. Fundamentally this is a battle between people who literately want to destroy the Internet and those who want to protect and preserve it. Make no mistake of it people - it really is that black and white. The argument is quite bizarre. YouTube (or any other Web 2.0 website) is definitely a “service provider” under the DMCA.

HR-2281: And Then the DMCA Didn't Apply on the Earth (Viacom vs. Google).: Google and YouTube are not Service Providers (nor are the Others) It argues 17 USC § 512(k)(1)(B) and that's an opinion that should be heard just as loud, and whether anyone agrees with it or not, that opinion should have a podium to defend itself. This is the Kindle link that provides most of the first brief for viewing. http://www.amazon.com/HR-2281-YouTube-Service-Providers-ebook/dp/B006Q2I85A/ Terry,

But you can make "foreign IP" more expensive without having money leave your country. For instance by forcing kick-backs to domestic organizations for foreign IP. Maybe the police "fines" the street vendor every now and than and that money goes to bolster the local governments or Nollywood. I see your point.
