Or the music industry. Here is a gem from RIAA Pres. Carey Sherman whining about Internet2 at Carnegie Mellon and U. of Pittsburgh:
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05121/496886.stm Dear God, man.. a song traded in 20 seconds??!? Interent2 being HIJACKED for ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS? WHERE WILL IT END?!?? Granted I don' t have much sympathy for the kids that got nailed for trading copyrighted works illegally. They knew the risks, took a risk, and got nailed. But I don't like what is suggested filtering, etc of Internet2 (or the good 'ol Internet for that matter). I do have some sympathy for artists, but not the RIAA. They are a monopoly that doesn't understand their end-times are near. I wonder what kind of salary Carey Sherman pulls down for that matter.
