POWER TO THE PEOPLE: RAPPERS
PRO (CHUCK D) AND CON (LL COOL J) ON P2P
Chuck D of Public Enemy: "Technology
giveth and it taketh away. ... I think this expands
artistry and it's about adjustment ... I never felt
that my copyrights were protected anyway. I've been
spending most of my career ducking lawyers, accountants
and business executives who have basically been more
blasphemous than file sharers and P2P. I trust the consumer
more than I trust the people who have been at the helm
of these companies. The record industry is hypocritical
and the domination has to be shared. P2P to me means
'power to the people.'"

ARTISTS BLAST RECORD COMPANIES OVER LAWSUITS AGAINST DOWNLOADERS
With little dissent artists say the suits protect not them but corporate profits and the bloated industry must learn to adapt to new technology.
* Chuck D of Public Enemy - "Those scare tactics are pure Gestapo."
* David Draiman of Disturbed – "[The lawsuits are] For the artists, my ass. I didn't ask them to protect me, and I don't want their protection."
* Grateful Dead's Bob Weir – "They're protecting an archaic industry."
* DJ Moby - "It's like horse-and-buggy operators suing Henry Ford."

PERFORMER
MICHAEL JACKSON OPPOSES PROPOSED ANTI-P2P LEGISLATION
"I am speechless about
the idea of putting music fans in jail for downloading
music. It is wrong to illegally download, but the answer
cannot be jail," Jackson said in a statement. "Here
in America we create new opportunities out of adversity,
not punitive laws and we should look to new technologies,
like Apple's new Music Store for solutions. This way
innovation continues to be the hallmark of America.
It is the fans that drive the success of the music business;
I wish this would not be forgotten."
