IFPI singles out Spain in calls for global anti-piracy legislation

dont they say this about Canada because they wont roll over and play dead for the media industry?

so music for "local artists" fell 65% but whats the figures for pop, seems he is failing to divulge theses statistics i'm guessing that sales have risen & the RIAA (IFPI are the same companies)scum are cherry picking data.

there are infact laws in Spain to combat piracy but not laws to stop search engines from indexing & where the hell does the RIAA get off stating that it would be just for someone to lose their internet connection, surely RIAA should take individual copyright violators through the civil courts as most every country on our planet has provisions for private litigation.

anyway piracy just became anonymized!

Pirate Bay's VPN goes public: Ipredator
As governments around the world consider proposals to hand surveillance powers to the entertainment industry and twitchy cops, the Pirate Bay is striking back. Its new ?5/month IPRedator service is an encrypted VPN that you can use to hide your traffic (whatever it may contain) from prying eyes. The name comes from Sweden's adoption of IPRED (the "IP Rights Enforcement Directive," a punishing piece of anti-Internet legislation). I've been looking for a reliable VPN to use on public hotspots -- this might just be it.
