Reuters reports that longtime U2 manager Paul McGuinness took ISPs to task to curb music stealing on the interwebs.  Interestingly he states that, “There’s a lot of money in the music business, but it has stopped coming to the artists.”  That’s interesting–I thought there’d always been a lot of money in the music business and most of it never made it to the artists.  He also compared ISPs to being like a magazine that lists stolen vehicles and watches the money being exchanged.  Peter Gabriel also added his support to Paul’s statement, and said ISPs should be beaten with a sledgehammer.
