nsane Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Canadian musicians are rising up against p2p lawsuits, statutory damages, DRM and anti-circumvention legislation.They've started a new group called the Canadian Music Creators Coalition."Fans who share music are not thieves or pirates," they state unequivocally. "Sharing music has been happening for decades."Members include, Barenaked Ladies, Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, Chantal Kreviazuk, Sum 41, Stars, Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace), Dave Bidini (Rheostatics), Billy Talent, John K. Samson (Weakerthans), Broken Social Scene, Sloan, Andrew Cash and Bob Wiseman.Source: http://p2pnet.net/story/8648finally, looks like some people in the music industry still have some common sense left (ie. un-brainwashed -- see brittany spears). but it's exactly what i've been arguing for like 2-3 years now, the sharing of information only helps spread the word of good products (not just music). but the only thing the exec's can think about is how we're getting it without paying for it (overlooking the fact we're doing them a favor) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
