BREAKING NEWS: Music Industry Is Dishonest

It turns out, not all artists fear poverty and starvation at the hands of millions of teenage pirates.

Shocking, I know. We'll stay on this story all night, if we have to!

A prominent group of musicians and artists, breaking with colleagues and the major entertainment studios, is urging the Supreme Court not to hold online file-sharing services responsible for the acts of users who illegally trade songs, movies and software.

I've been using Limewire lately - somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Gnutella-based P2P programs essentially immune to legal shutdowns? Open-source, with no central server, should mean that the music industry can't screw aroung with these programs. What it does mean, however, is that they'll target the ISPs themselves. Because apparently, God ordained that the music industry was entitled to monopoly pricing on music, for all time.
