you might want to know that right now the artist are threatening to sue because they are not getting a share of the settlement that are being won

so copying the RIAA model is not all it is cracked up to be.
Seriously??? the fair use argument again???? how you twist the use of the word FAIR is just beyond me.

I have only watched clip one so far and Picconilli (spelling??) hit it right on the head... regardless of what people think, these rules/the status quo won't go on forever... new laws/rules will be created for a situation that no one foresaw when the copyright laws were created. Things will be changing, it's guaranteed.

Yeah... I would be pissed if I was an artist and the lawsuits didn't get me any money either. Still isn't the worst of all worlds though... I can imagine there has been some sort of detrimental effect on users now that people are losing lawsuits and having huge judgements against themselves for distributing songs/content.
