Talking of illegal file sharing, which we kind of were, there was an interesting quote from Warner chief Edgar Bronfman Jnr in a Reuters interview shown on Second Life this week. He admitted that his children had downloaded music illegally, adding: "I explained to them what I believe is right, that the principle is that stealing music is stealing music". Of course you might have expected Bronfman to get straight on the phone to the legal department of the Recording Industry Association Of America and demand they issue legal papers against his kids, though the Warner chief did add that such litigation was not central to Warner's strategy in the digital space, observing that labels should "not to go after the casual jaywalker, but the car thief".
