Hi Joni:

I'm a fellow Canadian who runs a fairly well-known, non-entrepreneurial digital media news blog from Vancouver Island in BC. You've been outspoken about rhe music industry before and I'm wondering what you think about the way in which the corporate music industry is suing its own customers, ie, in the recent Jammie Thomas-Rasset and Joel Tenenbaum cases.

Pay $675,000, Joel Tenenbaum ordered - http://www.p2pnet.net/story/26037

If you respond, would it be OK to quote you in a post on my site?

Cheers! And thanks. And all the best ...
Jon

The record companies and their bloodhounds are acting according to the obsolete copyright laws still existing.These laws should be completely abolished but they never will.The big corporations rule the world and the lawmakers are just their servants.They are ready to kill the Internet or even establish dictatorship in the name of saving their masters' profits.Their God is Money, but - as the saying goes - Thou shalt worship no other God - unless it's Freedom.
