They should be sued at the same rate as they have screwed over students and young folk who are now bankrupted by fines of even millions of dollars.How these kids can make a living with the debt big labels put on them will follow them for a l;ifetime. Big lables are krap.I refuse to buy any new corporate music or films from Hollywood because of their attitudes. Buy Used from corporates !!! Buy new from local and Indies !!!!

I hope the artists win.
