While not over (I've heard two rumours one being that the IFPI will absorb them and one saying that they will just move over into the DOJ) the campaign to sue customers had a devistating impact on the flow of creativitiy that would have benefitted major record labels. Now the major record labels have to compete against the millions of artists who stood up and effectively said "There is a better way." The Creative Commons movement is capable of cranking out hit after hit on a daily basis. The major record labels? Well they claim to produce a hit once a month at best. Their only shot left is to shut down the internet now and they'll have to contend with what is now a multi-billion dollar industry (and some in the industry aren't willing to play ball either) The lawsuit campaign was a failure from beginning to the end.
