A notable quote: "Fans who share music are not thieves or pirates.
Sharing music has been happening for decades. It is hypocritical for
labels to sue fans for something that everyone in the music industry
has done him or herself. New technologies may have changed the way
that fans share music, but they have not changed the fact that sharing
helps artists' careers."
