Earth to Congress! The copyright system does not serve commerce in the digital era. The hurdle of audio/visual content distribution has been blown away by the Internet and there are no longer reasons why digital content can or should be copyright protected. I know Bill Gates will disagree. Time for a new economic model that protects intellectual property, provides greater rewards to the musical and dramatic artists themselves and fewer rewards to huge media conglomerates and their overpaid executives.

I voted No. This is a newsworthy item. Album reviews surface all the time before street date due to leaks (U2, Nine Inch Nails, etc) and in some cases the leaks are intentional marketing efforts to get early reviews and create buzz. If that's the case, then it would have been leaked under the radar to legitimize it and of course denied by the film company. This feels intentional and close to the source. No matter how you feel about copyright law or P2P, Friedman was fired prematurely. I wonder what Fox corporate policy he broke. He was capitalizing on an illegal activity. That's what News corporations do for a living. That's what gets them the ratings they need to survive. This is a hypocritical knee jerk reaction by Fox in the wrong direction.
