Music industry sends IM warnings to song swappers

The music biz sent IMs to thousands of song swappers who had copyrighted songs available for download from their Grokster and Kazaa nodes. I greatly prefer the industry taking such technical steps to stop song swapping to taking legislative ones. Ultimately, I think the steps are pointless and the industry should really start giving people want they want. I don’t think free music is really what people are after… they’re after supporting the musicians by buying music at reasonable prices. I don’t think the general public (myself included) cares very much about the industry middlemen.
