PERFORMER MICHAEL JACKSON OPPOSES PROPOSED
ANTI-P2P LEGISLATION
"I am speechless about the idea
of putting music fans in jail for downloading music. It is
wrong to illegally download, but the answer cannot be jail,"
Jackson said in a statement. "Here in America we create
new opportunities out of adversity, not punitive laws and
we should look to new technologies, like Apple's new Music
Store for solutions. This way innovation continues to be the
hallmark of America. It is the fans that drive the success
of the music business; I wish this would not be forgotten."
