This guy has a very nicely done speech for an intended audience of people who think they bought their internet along with the discout PC at Best Buy. In simple terms it is directed at people who dont know how the different technologies used on the net works. But for every other person this speech reeks of corporate "We will fight anything that doesnt allow us to rip of Mr John.Q.Consumer."

Now I ask you, could they have spent all this energy and time and money, trying to derail a technology which can never be derailed. Maybe not Napster, but other similar technologies as well. They could have spent some of this money for R&D in using this technology in totally legal music distribution.

But WAIT!! They have probably realised that with such technology, the artists probably dont need the record companies anymore. These files can be downloaded and played on many MP3 players available out there. So there goes their CD sales anyways. They figure if the artists can somehow use a service not to dissimilar to Napster then Them[the record companies] are no longer needed and I will use the right analogy unlike the speaker .. record companies going the way of the dodo

So pretty much Seagrams is trying to wring out every last cent they can out of us the consumer and them the artists.
