1. Industry can make a lot of money with the internet
2. to be accurate, a lot of sites providing illegal mp3s have been shut
down.
And what about the "file transfer protocol" FTP?

It's a crazy world we're living in
I think somebody should design a file sharing program that really controls
the copyright issue with mp3s. At this moment there are 2 ways to get
released music: 1. Buy expensive record, from which the artist gets only few
dimes. 2. Get it as an mp3, and nobody gets payed (except the phone company
and ISP). Either way the artist really doesn't get the money from his work
