Power Base May Be Shifting For Peer-To-Peer
By John Borland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com via The Walktalker NUService Technology executives said Monday that they're ready to work with Hollywood to prevent piracy but they're concerned that studios' efforts could undermine file-swapping technology. In a joint missive to studio chiefs, signed by Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, Intel's Craig Barrett, Dell Computer's Michael Dell and others, technology CEOs said they were ready to sit down with movie industry representatives to discuss anti-piracy issues--but only if the studios agree that technology can't solve all their problems. With several conditions attached, the letter represented only a qualified olive branch extended toward the studios, which have criticized technology companies for turning a blind eye to Net piracy. http://news.com.com/2100-1023-943946.html?tag=cd_mh - js. |

It is well established that the RIAA, and only the RIAA, has the right to exploit artists.

File swappers offer a valuable revenue source and when has money not been a motivation? Besides, these tech companies must keep in mind shareholders' expectations. A dollar is still a dollar, even if it has Kazaa printed on it.
