Tactics like parading prisoners on TV during the Superbowl and lashing out against a company that's doing a great job with Skype can't help but make me think of what nice people they are. It's the industry invited concepts like Payola. I wonder how many new Kazaas they will spawn.

.The raid was conducted under a rarely used law, known as Anton Pillar, which allows litigants in civil copyright cases to gather evidence.
.The Federal Court gave record labels permission to raid 12 premises in three states to collect evidence against Kazaa, said Michael Speck, general manager of Music Industry Piracy Investigations.
.Speck said the recording industry would file a civil action against Kazaa on Tuesday.
