...afford to challenge the ridiculous lawsuits). File-sharing is not the artist's enemy. Eminem had the most-downloaded album last year. It was also the highest-selling album of the year. Overpriced CDs and a cruel, pointless campaign to alienate fans are the artists' enemy. The RIAA must embrace file-sharing or die (I vote die). Brian Dollerhide Wasilla, Alaska...

The age of downloading is upon us and litigation will not stem its arrival. The music industry will be better served by adapting than by fighting the tide...
