Quote: Terry McBride (CEO, Nettwerk Music Group)

August 28, 2006  |  By Sotek  |  0 Comments
"[The major labels] are using fear as a tactic [to] push these kids away from these P2P systems. You can't use fear to change these behaviors - it just isn't effective. These lawsuits have hurt my artists. We need to stop these lawsuits. I want those fans to share that music. When [the original] Napster hit, we had the same knee-jerk reaction that everyone else did: 'Who are these kids, let's get them and sue them.' But after a while we realized that they were no different than I was when I was as a teenager, just looking to consume as much music as possible."

— Terry McBride, CEO of Canada-based record label Nettwerk Music Group.
