thats actually what i hope to write my econ thesis on this year, seeing how piracy affects the label's earnings. there was a great study done by a Duke grad student showing the correlation between big record labels and other major firms performance over the last few years, specifically he used Kodak i believe. its not the piracy, its the economy.

These "secure digital" tracks cannot be played on another computer should they be uploaded to the Net.

How long did it take to break the "unbreakable" encryption on DVD's again? I bet within a week those songs are out on Kazaa.

They will go after those that circumvent the "encryption" using the power of the DMCA.
