Today's webtip: Copyfight final round
The standard way of framing the current copyright debate is to have poor teenagers, geeks and thieves on one side, and music labels, artists, and musicians on the other. Every time the music industry attempts to influence governments into enacting a new law it's always "Think of the artists!"
Believe me, a lot of the current critics of the system spend quite a bit of time thinking about the artists. As a matter of fact, most of the vocal critics I know are creative types themselves. And not just frustrated unsuccesful artists either. Quite a few have a major collection of hits under their belts.
And they think the system sucks too.
