Oh come on, competition can destroy jobs but that doesn't mean we should ban it. That's massive hyperbole, most pop stars have more then enough money.
I also think the music industry is exaggerating the risk posed by torrents. Personally, I think I buy more albums with torrenting then I would without. Most people don't have a problem with supporting the musicians its just when limited income and cooperate politics get in the way that we have a problem.
