I'm shocked to read that "American entertainment industry says accounts for the loss of $20 billion a year in sales". As I'm a music fan and have worked for two of the largest record labels companies in the world, I truly understand the damages that paricy and file sharing website have done to the entertainment industry and artists creativity. File sharing website facilitates the transmission of digital files to people, and in P2P file sharing websites, user can upload files for other users to download which provide much more contents. Napster is an example of p2p file sharing website in which its user can download digital music that other people uploaded. Technically, Napster doesn't own any of the content, but still it was sued for copy right infringement by several large record label companies and was shut down in the end
I still don't understand how the entertainment industry can complain. They STILL make so much money. They say it's all about the music but they complain so much about the money.
