p2pnet news view | P2P | Music:- The upbeat tune Warner Music and Jim Griffin, pictured on the left with Warner boss Edgar Bronfman jr, were singing on Choruss, the music ‘licensing’ scheme they’ve been touting to US universities, is now sounding like a funeral dirge.

Mandelson’s piracy tactics leave Tories with a dilemma Times Online James Blunt, who wrote to Lord Mandelson on the vexed subject of internet piracy, called the internet service providers “drug pushersâ€? in an e-mail that the minister saw fit to publish this week. Those terrible ISPs, you see, are the people who allow us hapless addicts, also known as consumers, to download and copy music free — the only drug for which you don’t have to pay.

Their position may be less evil than that expressed by the RIAA, BREIN, BPI, or IFPI, but the mere fact they advocate any kind of ‘punishment’ for noncommercial file-sharing indicates, at the very least, severely mixed feelings in regard to filesharing itself, and more broadly, at least implicit agreement with the RIAA -member- corporations’ view of copyright.
