Music makes the people come together –Tiffany Orr, the Underground, editor My sister came to visit me the other day. She‟s my best friend, but I hadn‟t seen her in a while. So as we were catching up, for some reason I told her about my disillusionment with the recording industry. I told her how the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the organization that represents the interests of the recording industry worldwide, just won its lawsuit against the Pirate Bay, a popular BitTorrent tracking site, for copyright infringement. Why did the IFPI single out the Pirate Bay? Why not shut down all the torrent trackers around the world, I asked her. The Pirate Bay doesn‟t even host any of the files. It‟s just a search engine for the files. If anyone is guilty of copyright infringement, it‟s not the people who run the site.
Silence.
