The US prosecution and closure of Napster and, more recently, the Digital Economy Act in the UK have highlighted industry and legislator’s fears regarding such practices and attempts to shut it down. However, one might argue that firstly trying to close or legislate against what is essentially a benign technological concept is entirely fruitless and, secondly, perhaps file sharing practices are challenging what one might suggest are unethical business practices themselves. The recording industry has had the monopoly on the production and distribution of recorded music for around 50 years, with artists tied into exclusive contracts and tight copyright control. Prior to Internet based file sharing this was arguably the best option for an artist wishing to distribute their music. However, is this still the case? Is file sharing killing the music industry, or is it putting the control of an artist’s gifts back into their hands, rather than allowing corporate business to own “talent”?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
