Does She Look Like a Music Pirate?

I wonder how much of the music being stolen on the internet really translates into lost revenue. My gut feeling is college and highschool students are responsible for most music downloads and they don't typically have the money to buy all the music they want. But these people typically grow up and get jobs and start purchasing music on iTunes (or Amazon) because their time becomes more valuable.

RIAA has been digging its own grave for years now. The faster the music industry implodes, the better it will be for consumers and more importantly, artists.

Intimidating and suing your potential customers just seems like a really dumb business strategy to me.

For some reason I just imagined "Does Marsellus Wallace look like a pirate?!"

What is going on with Business Week? I have to click five times to read the whole article and more than half of the page is crammed with ads and links.

This is a very interesting case, but more so, shows the disgraceful practices of the RIAA.
