to make them more transparent and less confusing. The record companies hope
the changes will convince more artists to join the fight against free
downloads of music on the Internet. </quote>
So in other words, artists are feeling screwed and this is why they are
loathe to denounce file sharing? My guess is that after they see what
they are really losing, they will be more inclined to support file
sharing.
