Information Research Weblog

Even the musicians are rising up in opposition to piracy prevention! The TechDirt Weblog draws attention to a message from one George Zieman. Zieman also has material quoted elsewhere, which shows that the US music industry cut its production of new releases last year by 25% and then tells us that its drop of 4.1% in sales is the result of 'piracy'. One thing is clear - when companies lobby government in their interests, legislators need to check the facts VERY carefully, these guys will go to any lengths to massage the facts.
