This DON WAS is a guy who's got a big point! Stop making CRAP records and we'll for the QUALITY!
Producer Don Was says the recording industry's crackdown on illegal music downloading is "wasting billions of dollars that people ought to be funnelling into making better records.''
"I've never heard of a business that prosecutes its customers. I understand what people are doing is a violation of intellectual property laws, but it's not right and it's outside the spirit of the way people make music," said Was.
Record labels have sued more than 26,000 people accused of violating copyright laws by downloading and sharing music online, saying they want to send a message to deter people from downloading music illegally.
"I really think the problem with the music business is not that kids are downloading songs, but that people started making crappy records and charging too much for them," Was said.
