Nobody invited the P2P-Zone/Napsterites delegation of our sophisticated Finnish, Canadian and New England ambassadors. It'll definitely be very boring otherwise!

Don't they have proofreaders, editors etc.?

Yeates said the legal crackdown would be "proportional," suggesting the BPI would, as the RIAA has in America, go after those who distribute the most songs and leave the occasional file-sharer alone.
I still think this campaign will backfire in the long-run, as this kind of publicity is exactly the reason that casual usage of p2p is on the rise. As private communal networks and encrypted wireless connections become more ubiquitous, the casual file-sharer might become the media mogul's worst nightmare. And by then it'll be too late to convert them into paying customers.
