Not too long ago we had a semi-loss for The Pirate Bay in The Netherlands, which was convicted 'by default' because the defendants did not show up in court to plea their case. Today, The Netherlands once again saw a ruling in a high-profile piracy case, and again, there's a loss for the defendants. Update: Oh, and by the way - thought about putting some lyrics you like on your website or blog? Think again. We live in a crazy world, people.

It isn't right, but it is just too easy. The media companies could make their lives easier by simply providing what the market demands. So they are simply bringing this upon themselves. I feel not one ounce of pity to those that disregard public opinion, research and just plain common sense and then feel that the only way to fix the problem is to make it worse by lobbying for more draconian laws whilst not providing legal alternatives.
Ultimately for me it means that I'll just stop buying stuff from them as I tend to discover new stuff from things freely shared with others, which is really the way people discover and consume media in the 21st century.
