Recording artists by and large aren't pushing for this at all. Which I am one and my music is on file sharing sites, so you would assume I am for this. But really only the corporations are taking the hit on file sharing, unless in a few instances like in the case of Metallica vs. Napster when you have an artist that moves insane amount of product they tend to see the millions they are making taken down a peg or two. But overall this is a corporate money grab only out to punish the very people who buy their product. Public relations wise this is a disaster and has been since Metallica vs. Napster, the corporate record companies dont get it and probably never will. This benefits no one except the corporations and the ones at the very very top. Obama is way off on this and I am chalking it up either he himself being in bed with these corporations or ignorance, either way it isn't good for him to come out in favor of this.
