Pay particular attention to the first comment by Sid Gilbert. The comment list is verrry long but worth the read.

Maybe a bigger emphasis on more quality and less garbage. The prices for music and movies blew out the roof just as going to simple ball game has. If they were offered at reasonable prices back when, I don't think this problem would be as severe.It probably would have been easier for unknowns to get their shot as well. This whole file-sharing issue is as much if not more about rebelling against those institutions for their overpricing as it is to file sharing.I believe in some ways they have destroyed their own industry and any adoption of such greedy policies will do the same to any other. It's just a matter of time. Without so much greed there might have been more humility in the movie and music business from the artists as well as the ones that produced them.

Bono really doesn't deserve so much hate. OK, he doesn't support filesharing, because he thinks stopping it will help artists. Most of us, including me, disagree with his opinion - but that is no reason to get rude. I expected the TF community to be at least slightly more mature. You, people, put shame on torrenters. If everybody here is a flamer, no wonder others think filesharers are just a bunch of criminals. Honestly, people, don’t you think it’s a bit too much? Bono really doesn’t deserve so much hate.

Its the only way. Hulu allows me to watch shows for free, legitimately, if I sit through a short commercial. Great idea! Hope it comes to that, prices will be cheap and people will be doing everything legit, which always feels better. I agree with the “Compete with piracy” idea. Its the only way.

I am not going to download their music anymore. And I feel sorry that I did. Because of this article, I am not really interested in the band anymore. This news came as a great shock and disappointment to me. Leaving that aside, I believe that unauthorized sharing actually helps the little artists to be discovered. Who will buy a song from a little-known, obscure artist? I don't know anyone. But who will download it? Many will, and if they like it, they will recommend it to their friends, who will continue to spread the word - and many, many of the people in the chain will afford to buy the track, or even the album. TF has already covered many true stories of indie artists who thank downloading. Oh, and the rich artists - they are live, rock-solid proof of how downloading has not stopped their career, but rather, increased the amount of their fans. Oh, and everybody seem to miss yet another point - the 2000's decade, from the first year in it (2001) and 2009 is just nine years. When counting your, umm, say, torrent downloads, or released CDs, you don't count "Zero, one, two...", so why do you do so with years? It's not over. The decade is not over. Hopefully when the decade is over for real, people will see that filesharing doesn't hurt artists. This convinced me. I am not going to download their music anymore. And I feel sorry that I did.

He thinks he is an expert in any subject he wants to talk about, while in fact, he is only a HYPOCRITE. Several years ago Bono called for everyone in the Developed World to pay more taxes to help the Third World - and he said this while HE SET HIMSELF UP AS AN OFF-SHORE TAX SHELTER TO AVOID PAYING INCOME TAX IN IRELAND. When asked about this, Bono waved his hand and said "it washis business manager's decision and he just followed - just like the Nazis who worked in the death camps were just following orders.
