There is a large corporate engine powering this movement and I don't see much stopping them unfortunately. A very greedy bunch indeed. I could go on about how over priced media is these days or how hard it is to get digital media legaly in a reasonable unrestricted format or how a large amount of music these days is created for the sole purpose of making a small group extremely rich but I would like to point out a group who has set out to bring fear uncertainty and doubt or FUD to governments all around the globe. A group called the International Interlectual Property Alliance has set out to banish any form of sharing or distribution of materials across the planet calling Open Source a form of piracy. If thats not rediculous enough they are calling for the end of free and open resources deeming them evil and against the interests of the corporate movement. Have a read of this article => http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/feb/23/opensource-intellectual-property and then read some press releases on their site www.iipa.com

Simon Cowell's stance is no surprise given he works for Sony. However, he forgets the role copyright-contravening YouTube videos uploaded by UK viewers played in Susan Boyle's US rise to fame.

Great campaign and I like to see our own national hero, Stephen Fry, is involved. I really don't understand where the record companies are coming from. They need to focus on their flock rather than the one that got away. Rather than spending millions of pounds challenging file-sharing sites and consumers, they must rethink how to extract value from their core competencies. When you consider what core competencies and assets record companies have, it is shocking how they haven’t benefited hugely from this trend. Record labels have a monopoly of the talent, the artists. They must focus on leveraging these “assets” in live music promotion rather than simply letting concert promoters reap the benefits of this industry shift while they pump money into a lost cause.
