Maybe Mr. Santagelo should try getting one of the recording artists who say they aren’t against file sharing on the web to testify that in fact it is the recording cartel who is in fact holding the public hostage. Last time I looked if I bought a car, it was mine and I could give it to whom I please or even destroy it by putting ground cd’s in the gas tank. Try that with a vinyl record from 1911 though and the buggers will have you in court. Who do they think they are?

I think Weird Al comes under that – IIRC his beef with p2p isn’t file-sharing, it’s misattribution.
