those lovely chaps at the BPI are getting tough on a mother who's daughter has been downloading music . i, for one, am pleased that the likes of 14 year old criminal mastermind, emily price, are finally being dealt with in such a shortsighted and heavyhanded manner. the time for pussyfooting around is gone. emily price's mother should be stopped!
BPI spokesman Steve Redmond defended the tactic of targeting the parents of downloaders. He said: "If we don't demonstrate that copyright law has teeth, we're going to be out of business and countless musicians will lose their livelihood too."
knowing that there are good guys like steve out there fighting for the rights of madonna and bono to continue to be obscenely rich helps me sleep soundly at night. the BPI's actions in no way compromise any sort of goodwill that might still be left towards the music industry amongst the people who pay their wages.

Of course, the real tragedy is that Emily's 14-year-old friends all now know that she downloads Oasis and Coldplay.
What a loser!!
Glad I'm not the only who thought "what bloody awful taste in music": who was it who were taking her files if those were what she was taking/sharing?!
to be fair, i've just checked the smallprint and apparently it's ok to have shit music taste when you're 14.

Not to other 14-year-olds it isn't.
