Ooh, a public backlash. Yes, I just saw a gang of fileshare addicts out there on the street throwing bricks through the windows of a Clear Channel-owned radio station. Indeed. Backlash. As in 'I JUST WROTE AN EMAIL TO JACK VALENTI MAN AND IT WAS IN ALL CAPS HES GONNA BE SORRY NOW'. JPK:

I don't know if KaZaA/Napster/Morpheus ever counted as 'Revolutionary'. It's just tape trading at the speed of light. Revolutionary would be the return of live music as a primary means of income instead of musicians relying on the sales of recordings. And enough people going to shows (other than the megafestivals) to make this truly possible.
