Who Are The Real Pirates? MediaGuardian have a similar article to my last post. Alan Cox points out that although the Motion Picture Association of America claim they are losing billions due to piracy, the evidence, such as the recent success of Spider Man, suggests they are doing just fine.
Courtney Love (lead singer of Hole) points out at her site that Record Labels are also doing fine. “Today I want to talk about piracy and music. What is piracy? Piracy is the act of stealing an artist’s work without any intention of paying for it. I’m not talking about Napster-type software. I’m talking about major label recording contracts.”.
