Garth Brooks recently came out of retirement and made some interesting comments on the state of piracy and other musical matters.
"I want us to be able to come together and represent as a whole to tell the nation. … Our government's not doing anything about piracy. Until we can hear what a day of radio is like with no music, until this place sits silent because the music creators and the artists and copyright (holders) are not happy because they're not being protected like everyone else is, then, yeah, I would like that power myself. It has to be placed in the right hands, so it can't be one person, but a board that represents music, its creators and its content owners. I think that'd be more than fair to stand up and say, 'Look, you've ignored us, because there's 50,000 of us and 300 million voters. You've ignored us, and now to show you, we would like to just simply stop for a day,' and see how dry this world gets." http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2009-10-15-garth-brooks-quote_N.htm http://techdirt.com/articles/20091015/1836306554.shtml
