This thread ought still to be being discussed. MP3 is causing some people great worries that it will be possible for joe public to post its favourite CD to its website, and for the rest of the world to download it without paying anyone anything apart from the purchase of that first CD. It will be years before any sort of macrovision derivative or watermarking will stop this. The current draft EEC copyright directive will remove liability (mostly) from ISPs. How will songwriters/producers live?
