Kazaa, filed a federal lawsuit Monday accusing the entertainment companies of using unauthorized versions of its software in their efforts to root out users. Entertainment companies have offered bogus versions of copyright works and sent online messages to users. Sharman said the companies used Kazaa Lite, an ad-less replica of its software, to get onto the network. The lawsuit also claims efforts to combat piracy on Kazaa violated terms for using the network.

70% of the original income that they made was pretty much taken away by Kazaa and Napster and things like that. I just don't think its right. And how does that make me a fruitcake?
he wants proof that they lost 70 percent i also think that the record companys would not have lost so much money if they would back better bands

Thats the problem. People are starting to realize that the music industry isn't an as profitable business anymore, and they hesitate to enter it. So without Kazaa, we might have some better bands.
i see both pionts i know i got the new sevendust cd it it came with some kind of copyright protection i cant play it on my computer

Thats not necessarily true slick. Backing better bands won't earn them more money. If anything backing "better bands" would cause them to loose money. In fact, the whole point is moot because the record companies damn near control all of what is hyped and promoted.
As for kazaa and Napster causing record companies to lose money, I don't necessarily see that as evil. I mean c'mon let's be honest you think those fat arse upper managment yuppies are losing money off that %70?. Let's face it gents music online is the future. The digital revolution that these companies shoved down the consumers throats in the 80's is now coming back to bite them in the arse.
But fear not plentpak, those classless talentless fuhqs mangaging their multi BILLION dollar companies will find away to exploit "online music" for money.
