[pp.int.general] Media and record labels are in the same fucked up boat

[Brendan Molloy]

Perhaps you need to market yourself a little better. Say you support "file

run from there. Or at least, instead of saying "pro-piracy", say "a model
that is directly supported and enhanced by file sharing". It's all about the
delivery.
