Now that Pandora's box has been opened, it will take considerably more than the RIAA, the big record and publishing companies or any amount of conspicuous crying and begging to close it.

Is recording a song directly from radio for personal use a crime? Nope. That's how millions of people used to avoid paying for the music. Some still do, I suppose.

Is recording a music video directly from TV for personal use a crime? Nope.

Sometimes I get the feeling that this is a battle of wits. Who is the more creative, those who create and deliver the music or those who devise ways to share copyrighted works with anybody and everybody?

So far, it would appear the PtoP network is winning the battle, despite the young girl and one old man our industry has taken into custody.
