This has nothing to do with Detroit, but to call file-sharing illegal is technically correct -- but socially naive. Sharing is the purpose of music. Sit around turntable and listen to the Beatles, Stones, Stooges -- whatever. Today we do the same but don't have to sit around the turntable. The RIA and Metallica didn't get it -- they're coming around. Because it turns out that those who 'illegally' download actually buy more product than those who don't. They now realize their financial future depends on sharing.
