Crikey do I have to post up the whole of the 990 page report :) Your not agreeing with me - I guess Sony, Universal, Warners and EMI are wrong then!They should have just said so, would have saved me sometime :) They know they've lost and the only way is to prosecutes individuals - last tactic - fear. 19 billion lost vs 1.25 made, my accountant would say that's NOT a fair amount. What I said is kids don't care, and with big money to be made, it aint some fat geeky kid who's making the bucks in the playground fella.
