# Roger Ebert on music piracy

I gain more respect for Roger Ebert every day. [Here](http://www.yil.com/columns/column.asp?columnist=ebert&date=020401&page=01) is an intelligently written commentary on the state of internet music sharing and how it relates to the music industry. He talks about Universal's new CD copy-protection scheme that will render CDs unplayable in DVD players, CD-ROMs, and car stereos and how record companies, by trying to eliminate music sharing and MP3 swapping, are really just biting the hand that feeds them -- the fans.
