New Encouraging words from an Aust net industry exec
Full article from the Sydney Morning Herald : [link|http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/01/21/1042911380707.html|Music industry chases internet providers for lost revenue]

Relevant quote from the article comes from chief executive of the Internet Industry Association, Peter Coroneos:
"The music and content industries have failed to adapt their business models to the realities of the internet. We're not going to prop them up."


More power to him!
John. Busy lad.

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
