Equally ridiculous. Yikes!

It's interesting to witness the labels flailing attempts to adapt--like watching a car wreck.

That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've heard in at least a week.
This is how it's done in Canada. Downloading and sharing mp3s is not illegal up here, but you pay an added amount for blank media. The same companies that own the blank media own the big record companies, right?
