Its the same thing when Napster was getting sued. Music Sales went down almost 50%. The Record companies are still living and working in the dark ages before computers and the internet. They have to learn that streaming and downloading is the way of the younger generations and no matter what they do we will find away around them

The record companies are like school yard bullies picking on the small kid with glasses.

The fact of the matter is that the record companies are resorting to extortion … they don’t sue Google even tough Google indexes plenty more mp3s than most of these sites (just try doing a query like

inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(mp3) “Coldplay”

in the Google search box (but replace Coldplay with anything else)

Of course RIAA is scared of Google, and instead they try to intimidate small players like Songbeat.

I really hope they fight all the way to court like the Pirate Bay guys.

Come on, let’s be frank, the ease of just connecting to the internet and just stream music and even download it with some 3rd party software defeats the purpose of wasting some money, even a dollar.

*I think what they need to figure out is some other way of artists making money from their songs other than people actually purchasing it. Maybe product placements, etc.
