A protracted legislative fight will not move us closer to where the music industry wants to be - delivering music to fans through a variety of different, innovative Web sites.
Hilary Rosen's quotes
When ATM machines came out and people were prosecuted for robbing ATM machines, I don't think anybody thought the banks were against technology because they didn't want their ATM machines lifted.
We are going after a targeted group of businesses that are creating opportunities for themselves using other people's property. The Internet has very little to do with this.
A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.
Unauthorized use of these MP3 files is really creating a problem for artists in the music community.
The Constitution wanted artists to have control over their works because they knew it would create incentive to create more works. That is clearly still the goal.
Everything we are doing is on the cutting edge of so many different industries and so many different interests. We're out there in the sunshine, and it feels fine.
The marketplace can handle this. The laws are there. The courts have shown a consistent ability to find a balance between copyright owners and copyright users.
Napster is essentially using the music to make money for themselves and that's the part that's both morally and legally wrong. That I think is more relevant than whether or not I'm losing money.
There is no sense in owning the copyright unless you are going to use it. I don't think anyone wants to hold all of this stuff in a vault and not let anybody have it. It's only worth something once it's popular.
I don't have any illusions that what we are doing is sticking the the bottle. I don't think that's what we are doing. We are trying to make sure that the genie has friends, has food to eat, a way to grow.
The innovation is going to come, and that is good for everybody.
Our profile was pretty low, deliberately so. Our constituents were a relatively small audience.
Music has an intrinsic value that touches Americans - they love their music, and want more.
The enforcement is the flip side to the growth. And that's OK.
For music, unlike a $500 software program, people are paying a buck or two a song, and it's those dollars and pennies that have to add up to pay for not just the cost of that song, but the investment in the next song.
There are some very real areas where working together is critical, whether it's talking about public policy issues, enforcement, or how to work together to facilitate new business opportunities. The RIAA has gotten much more involved in that.
This is a business built on promotion. We've been giving music away to radio stations for 30 years.
As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.
As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers, all with plenty of children, gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day.
Working moms, stay at home moms, they're both extremely hard jobs.
All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.
I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.
You can't compare a Super Bowl crowd, which tends to be more polite and a little more neutral to that. The Super Bowl only has 7,000 to 8,000 fans for each team.
Lamar Hunt
I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.
John Starks
I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.
I've had a big heart my whole life; all the Korn fans know that. A lot of people told me that I was different.
I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.
They want to know I'm doing good, the fans do.
The attraction, and my particular participation is in being able to communicate with my fans, answer their questions, get a feel for how they respond to Vader.
Liverpool fans were great to me, I still live near the city and they always come up and shake my hand.
To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.
I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.
Partly because I get such astonishingly nice fans.
I've spent a lot of time researching the subject and government deception. So to be involved in Star Trek is perfect for me. I enjoy meeting the fans and discussing my interests with them.
Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.
I think some fans want everything to stay they same because they want to stay the same.
I know I have sex appeal, but I've never felt like an actual sex symbol. Fans sometimes think I am. The majority of them are sweet about it, but occasionally somebody weird becomes totally fixated upon me.
I want to thank all of the fans and media who made playing in the NFL such a wonderful experience. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of them.
We have sensible fans and sensible policies.
I have quite a lot of fans in Holland because that is where my mother is from, in fact I have a fan club there, and the fans don't always get the chance to see us drive the cars because getting to races across Europe isn't always possible for them.
As I've said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators - not recently - fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.
I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.
Well, fans always root for the underdog.
Most people compliment me on maintaining my femininity while I'm on the court. People like the fact that I model. My fans or little girls always say they want to play sports, but also want to be a model like me and I think that's great.
Lisa Leslie
So I think the fans will be totally interested in the new developments and delighted that the old developments are still there and that they can still see some of the old characters maybe reappear.
Andreas Katsulas
It is my really sincere desire that we get an opportunity to play long enough for people to really grab on and become fans, because I think it's a great project.
