Jewfro-Macabbi discovered 2 months ago- From the page: "The action has been brought by EMI Records (Ireland) Ltd, Sony BMG Music Entertainment (Ireland) Ltd, Universal Music (Ireland) Ltd and Warner Music (Ireland) Ltd against Eircom Ltd. They are seeking orders - under the Copyright and Related Rights Acts 2000 - restraining Eircom from infringing copyright in the sound recordings owned by, or exclusively licensed to them, by making available (through Eircom's internet service facilities) copies of those recordings to the public without the companies' consent. Mr Willie Kavanagh, managing director of EMI Ireland and chairman of the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA), has said that, because of illegal downloading and other factors, the Irish music industry is experiencing 'a dramatic and accelerating decline' in income..." If you current job is no longer profitable enough to suit your tastes, then get another fucking job. The real reason your sales have declined is because people like myself - who used to actually buy music and movies - now do not. It's not because I'm downloading them instead. It's because I refuse to support corporations shitting on my rights. It's because they have refused to accept the *market* price of their wares (which is pretty much zero).
