Got a Digital Music Library? Hoarder! Pirate!

Guess what? Your digital music library is not actually a library. It’s considered "hoarding."

 

The entertainment cartels have already pirated the word "pirate" to replace "counterfeit" and/or "duplicate" and/or "share." It’s so much more PR-friendly — more emotive and evocative. And it works so well in a sound-bite or a headline.

 

Now the Organized Music family, Sony, Vivendi Universal, Warner Music and EMI, plan to do the same with "collection" and/or "library" when applied to file sharing, and they’ve chosen the shadowy NPD Group to deliver the message via a "study."
