Famous British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber said that the modern level of development of a lot of file sharing networks is the reason why there is no bands like The Beatles, notes The Daily Telegraph. As he believes, talented groups don’t have an opportunity to develop themselves due to the high level of piracy that exists within these file sharing networks. “Somalia of unregulated theft and piracy”, he told the press. In many ways he is absolutely right, the level of stealing and copyright violations is pumping out with totally unprecedented proportions, so new musicians get stuck out there. He also noted, “It is estimated that 7.3 million people in the UK – 28% of the online population – are now engaged in illegal peer-to-peer file sharing, a figure that is projected to rise to 8.7 million by 2012 if action is not taken”. The only problem is in the methods of control and monitoring that should be implemented within the Internet. It is something what cannot be regulated without harsh punishments or serious online search limitations. Such limitations will definitely squeeze local providers, IP addresses and general users, something what may create a lot of personal or legal issues. “People have just got into the habit of talking glibly about content providers as though they were some sort of optional part of the process,” added Webber.
