Japan and America, Two “Cultures of Piracy”
 
Both Japan and the U.S. have experienced significant
declines in music sales over the past five years; But
while the U.S. industry has responded by seeking legal
actions against its own consumers, Japanese record
makers are seeking ways to rebuild consumer loyalty
rather than demand customer obedience.

"...The solution to the music industry crisis, he
argues, is cultural not legal or economic and it
involves changing the relations between music
producers and consumers to emphasize shared interests
rather than economic exploitation. Imagine that!"

Best, Jeff Davis
