A lot of folks have pointed out this Jaron Lanier rant about piracy and the music industry. It's pretty plain that the push against new technologies in music delivery comes from the entrenched music industry rather than musicians. It's long been the case that record contracts have been "let 'em make their money on performance" deals, and it's true that musicians, certainly smaller acts, have little to worry about. I also think that we're going to see a change in the cultural perceptions of piracy and copyright because there are so many situations right now where the effects of unauthorized duplication are so obvious.
