We had to destroy the industry to save it

[Tony]

It's a tough one really.  From the point of view of the consumer, I would
like everything for free!  However, lyrics are no different from books or
other copyrighted works.  They are protected and they are a source of income
for the author, composer, etc.  I don't know if war is being declared.  More
that it's not as "peaceful" as it once was.

The power of the internet...
