Subject: Music Bill Is Bully on IMs

I am writing in response to the article " Music Bill Is Bully on IMs," July 26, 2002.

As an occasional so-called pirate of music files using peer-to-peer software, I find the idea that the recording industry could get its act together enough to run a sophisticated attack on user's file-sharing networkslaughable.

And just how is the music industry going to get by firewalls? This story was dead before it went to print.
