Courtney Love on File Sharing
I suddenly find myself with a new respect for Courtney Love:
Today I want to talk about piracy and music. What is piracy? Piracy is the act of stealing an artist’s work without any intention of paying for it.
I’m not talking about Napster-type software.
I’m talking about major label recording contracts.
It’s the text from a speech she gave a while back, i don’t know how i missed this at the time. Some of her info is a bit dated – high quality mp3’s actually sound pretty good and nobody uses napster any more – but the basic points she makes about the music industry and the people who run it are solid.

I think most speeches of 2000 on IT related topics can be considered “a bit dated” this day. There are but a few that shine through, but most by far fall behind as the electronic race paces ever onward.
