. My thought with attributing “ideas” to people was that it would be easier to find the discussion about those ideas as someone could look back to those comments in this page: http://a2f2a.com/2010/01/05/its-time-for-us-to-agree/. It’s easier to search for a name than an idea. Attribution does not imply that any ideas were endorsed by the individual, only that I found the idea in their writing. Again, this is not necessarily any author's views, but a range of possible views. If any author has an issue with the way I have portrayed their view, leave a message in this box and I'll address it.

Do you agree with any of these statements? (Crosbie's options, can select multiple options. These options do not necessarily reflect Crosbie's opinion.)
1) File-sharing should remain illegal, though copyright might need some reform and more appropriate enforcement to address it.
2) File-sharing should be permitted, so it would be best to compensate publishers from an Internet tax (aka compulsory license fee).
3) Monopolies such as copyright shouldn’t apply to the Internet, nor should a tax – a free market will be fine. Sharing and building upon published music is natural.
4)None of these
5)Kind of, but not enough to commit to any of them

1) If music has an opportunity to be free and liberated whereby fans could be able to use and consume music to their hearts extent yet provide a means of compensation to the artists/ songwriters and even ’shareholders’ with minimal or nearly no economic effect upon ‘fans’ I would support such a scenario.
2) P2p in every form will exist forever. There is no available power to stop or control this phenomenon. I agree that any legislation that tries to forbid this inevitable cultural exchange is technically impossible and likewise ridiculous.
3a) A completely ‘free market’ scenario is more than likely unachievable in the face of the current legislation being proposed, not to mention super-powered economic forces within various media-oriented industries. Although sharing and building upon artistic works may be considered natural, I agree that we live on planet earth where laws and regulations set precedence.
3b)I agree that perhaps the only way to influence those laws would be to form a solid consensus and work to create a persuasive counter-proposal to the likes of ACTA and 3-strikes.
3c) I agree to an assertive position from A2F2A against legislation that is currently being imposed which supports the squandering of tax-payers money in order to enforce an impossible control-driven agenda (e.g. 3-strikes, digital Britain?).
4) None of these
5) Kind of, but not enough to commit to any of them.

Billy's options (Can choose multiple. These options do not necessarily reflect Billy's opinion)
1) ARTISTS NEED TO BE PAID BY THE PEOPLE WHO ENJOY AND EXPLOIT THEIR WORK
2) INDIVIDUALS WHO FILE-SHARE FOR NO GAIN OR PROFIT SHOULD NOT BE PERSECUTED
3) NET NEUTRALITY MUST BE DEFENDED AND MAINTAINED FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL
4) None of these
5) Kind of but not enough to commit to any one of them.

Other statements gleaned from comments, with attribution (can choose multiple. The options do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the author)
1) Decentralised P2P (with or without specific software applications) by private individuals where no money is made, should be entirely exempt [from persecution], and not divided into downloader/uploader distinction. (John Barron)
2)Decentralised P2P (with or without specific software applications) by ANYONE where no money is made, should be entirely exempt [from persecution], and not divided into downloader/uploader distinction. (John Barron, with Jon Newton suggestion in caps)
3) Granting a limited commercial monopoly, (Internet or not), may be a valid trade-off for us to make as a society, and can encourage the production of more creative work than would otherwise be the case, to be shared freely and developed further within a reasonable time (i.e. less than a generation, certainly not 100+ years as at present). (John Barron)
4) Corporate interference can only be addressed by activities like Net Neutrality legislation, enforcement of Fair Competition and Fair Consumer Practices, and massive public exposure to the corporate deception that brought it all on. (DevilsAdvocate)
5) If anyone’s going to get paid for singing my song then they should either be prosecuted or forced to pay me a royalty. (Crosbie, taken entirely out of context from comment 21)
6) None of these
