Rough Music:
Music Pirates Are Best iTunes Customers
Former Google boss Douglas C Merrill has claimed that pirates using Limewire to share music illegally were the best customers for sites such as iTunes.
Merill joined EMI after his stint at Google and came to realise that file sharers were simply trying out music before buying it legally.
From TorrentFreak:
“The RIAA said it isn’t that we are making bad music, but the ‘dirty file sharing guys’ are the problem,” he said during his speech as quoted by ComputerWorld.
“Going to sue customers for file sharing is like trying to sell soap by throwing dirt on your customers.”
