There's this about it in the Wall Street Journal online http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122966038836021137.html
"Critics say the legal offensive ultimately did little to stem the tide of illegally downloaded music. And it created a public-relations disaster for the industry, whose lawsuits targeted, among others, several single mothers, a dead person and a 13-year-old girl." - Wow! I have to say I had my fun with napster and kazaa...but haven't done file sharing in a long time! I use iTunes for music I take interest in...and or just go buy the CD
yeah either buy the cd or burn it from someone who already has it. the whole lawsuit thing was too narrow-minded. instead of attacking the companies/websites that promoted file-sharing, they attacked the people who using them.
