Musical Hypocrisy | Tragic Comedy | Funeratic

Scott Hardie | September 1, 2004
I know we've beaten nearly to death the subject of file-sharing and musical piracy. But in downloading Winamp today and browsing their forums for information, I couldn't help but be alarmed by this announcement. It describes corporations as 'horrible' and greedy for suing music pirates, while trying to argue that Winamp fans who create plug-ins are 'raped' every time someone posts their work online without their permission. Uh, what? This moral relativism is repulsive, and when faced with this extreme level of irrational blindness, I can see why record companies feel they have no choice but to let the courts sort it out.

Yeah really. Hypocritical much?
