Jane Galt has an interesting article up about the recording industry and file-sharing. The fact is, the recording industry does have a certain moral position here — protecting their product against copyright infringement, which I as a writer-in-waiting can get behind, to a certain extent. But the industry’s efforts to fight for their cause have been so ham-handed, stupid, and Draconian that it’s hard for anyone to feel sorry for them.
Gee, a partially-moral position undermined by poor tactics, strategic bungling, dishonesty and the unavoidable stench of raving commitment to self-interest….now, that sure sounds familiar….
