According to the Globe and Mail (Canadian helps Texas teen battle RIAA, 2005-01-31), Terry McBride, head of Nettwerk Music Group (Lavigne, McLachlan, Barenaked Ladies) is funding the legal defence for David Greubel of Arlington, TX as the RIAA attempts to sue him for possession of illegally downloaded songs. McBride says that it’s dangerous to consider music as a product, since music consumerism is wholly dependent on emotional response. He points out that music downloaders are music lovers, and alienating via litigation is not helpful.

Good for him, but is this simply low-cost advertising for his clients?
