There is an excellent article here regarding piracy, the internet and peer-to-peer networking. I hope the fans of the anti-piracy legislators and campaigners give it a good read, its quite compelling.Personally i believe that the way music, specifically, will go, is that all music will be available free for personal use (as most software should be) but companies must pay if they are using the music to make money, and individuals must pay to see the band live. Artists will also make money from merchandise.
