BBC - dot.life: Stephen Fry on copyright

  • Pirate Bay had been unjustly pursued, and the reputation of its founders had been smeared by the music industry. He himself had resorted to BitTorrent to get hold of a TV programme; mind you, it was an episode of House, featuring his old "partner in crime" Hugh Laurie, and he had already paid to download the series.
  • Update 1518: Well, maybe Stephen Fry will be taking his thoughts to the Featured Artists Coalition after all.



    I've now been told that Billy Bragg, a member of the coalition (and guest on 5Live), has read this post, and says that he and his organisation are in complete agreement with Mr Fry: they too have no wish to see young file-sharers criminalised.



    So perhaps a better night out would be a performance at the annual dinner of the BPI or another industry trade body.
