: Digital rights advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation is launching "Let the Music Play" -- an ad camplaign "urging the more than 60 million U.S. citizens who use file-sharing software to demand changes in copyright law to get artists paid and make file-sharing legal."
My view: It's a ballsy, idealistic position to take, but one I think will need to be reckoned with in the long run. High-minded questions like "Can someone own information?" seem almost mystical in their philosophical nature, but people are getting sued for that in the here and now.
