A Sour Note on P2P File Sharing

Via Red Herring.

The music industry inadvertently sent mixed signals on Wednesday with an international industry association filing more than 2,000 file-sharing lawsuits at the same time that EMI, one of the world’s largest music publishers, posted robust numbers with its own digital sales, growing 142 percent.
