Yeah that's true freedom of information. I don't exactly remember the Sydney laws anymore, but over here in the US a case like that would be found justifible anymore. I mean look at that one oldies rock band that went around trying to figure out who used Napster and sue them for money lost on royalties.

The fact of the matter is, the companies aren't hurting that much form MP3, because of all the fans that still go out and buy the actual CD's (because not everyone rips MP3's right anymore it seems). Though rather than be happy with that, they want to be money hungry and show they have power and go after anyone they can. They probably just figure they can pick on Aussie better because the people aren't as agressive as the US. It's stupid, let the people have their MP3's, and if you loose that one fraction in sales because of it, STOP WHINING! That's the bottom line in my opinion.
