RIAA Head Calls File Sharing "Contained"
According to USA Today:
the CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America says unauthorized song swapping has been "contained."
"The problem has not been eliminated," says association CEO Mitch Bainwol. "But we believe digital downloads have emerged into a growing, thriving business, and file-trading is flat."
However:
About 1.5 billion songs are available for free swapping at any given time on file-sharing networks, says Garland, a mix of current hits and songs from such artists as the Beatles and Led Zeppelin that have yet to be released to the digital music stores.
That number is huge but hasn't grown substantially, while video piracy has. "The music industry isn't seeing double-digit growth in piracy anymore, but Hollywood is," Garland says.
Interesting stuff. Perhaps this means that the RIAA will stop teenagers? Naw...

I sometimes visit your blog and read articles.
Recently I checked CNET download.com and found 'Window P2P Extension Pack'.
This type of p2p program will apprear more and more and eventually RIAA will surrender sooner or later...
NOW YOUR Windows Explorer is your file sharing application!,
What else would you need more?
This is the future of P2P application for Windows users!
