Not quite. I think it's mostly a show to the shareholders of the music industries that they're trying to do something about acts that endanger their income. If they did nothing at all, they'd have to answer to the shareholders and face being replaced at the next meeting.

If the pigopolists weren't wallowing in cash all the time, I'd have some sort of sympathy for them. I don't pirate stuff, but I don't have sympathy for the claims that piracy is destroying the industry when I have DVDs that have adverts at the front that I can't skip past.
