AHOY - Aussie pirates are next to walk the plank

It was only the other day when american corporations declared war on individuals. Now it seems australia wants to copy our sister america, and throw people in the big house for downloading music (article here). “We would hope that the ISPs and the record companies could come up with an alternative solution,” said MIPI general manager Sabiene Heindl.  Well if Radiohead can come up with a decent solution, how come people earning hundreds of zillions of dollars cant? Look, lets be honest, artists who work hard deserve to be paid out the frame like donahue (ice-t), but we all know half these executives dont have a creative bone in their bodies so why should they be getting paid all the big money? Michael Franti encourages people to go to his shows/concerts and record them and share them, and he seems to do ok.

 People will always pay for good music, its just how much do these big companies want that is the problem.
