Israelite Speaks on Music Piracy

"The music industry deserves special attention from the Department of Justice because as an industry you have done more to help yourself more than any other industry that is experiencing theft of property right now," David Israelite, Chairman of the U.S. Justice Department's Intellectual Property Task Force told a group of songwriters at Belmont University, according to The Review Appeal. Israelite was also somewhat critical of the music industry, saying the industry should have offered legal downloading more quickly, according to the Tennessean.
