lol, Kuneva is a dipshit and evidently she doesn't understand the era of information. MP3s can be easily replicated an spread through the net, which means for every user that buys an MP3, 1000 users would only have to copy it. Is that fair for the artist? Is that fair for the producers? Yeah right, why don't we throw the music industry to the trash can while we let that happen? Or is anyone willing to pay 1000 times what music is worth just to "take one" for the group? No.
A single CD can play on any stereo because it belongs to a single person (and even then that's not entirely ethical, since I could lend my CD collection to everyone I know and I'm the only one paying tribute to the artists). Unless you make copies of it and make illegal profit off that, or simply not make profit, but make a hole in the artists and producers profit, eventually damaging an industry that creates thousands of jobs.
Sure, the music industry has been doing well, but that's only because the world isn't entirely dependent on the net yet, and entirely connected (yet). If there was no control on file sharing (especially IP sharing), then a lot of industries would suffer, die or simply never grow in the first place, which would in large scale, especially in the future, hit the economy hard since we're more and more dependent on information, including the entertainment sector.
Why are politicians such retards anyway? Or maybe they aren't retards and just want a piece of the pie... too bad they're too greedy yet don't know what to invest in (especially careerwise), otherwise we'd have a clean political system.
