Stop suing US!

With falling music sales, the Recording Industry Association of America finds it easy to call "Piracy!" and blame all of its woes on digital music. Nettwerk Music group CEO Terry McBride disagrees, however, and will be sharing this opinion at his company's SYNC music lounge on April 13.

"Basically it's an open forum to talk about the future of music," McBride told the Straight. "There's been a lot of moaning and groaning about how devastated the [music] business has been. I tend to take a different view on it. I tend to look at all of the opportunities and ask people to use their imaginations."

The free seminar will let people find out what a record-business veteran feels about peer-to-peer file sharing, and the general direction of the industry. For more information, go to www.nettwerk.com/sync/ or www.savethemusicfan.com/.
