The reason a lot of people pirate, not enough supply for the demand, or no supply in the area. Morons. I lived in Newfoundland, in a smaller town for 6 years, and finding music i liked was tough in stores, so was getting certain movies, because unless it wasn't the top rating most popular thing good luck finding it. Pederson is an idiot...told him to pirate it so that he could prosecute him? Didn't he pay for it on iTunes only to find it won't download? I'm not overly familiar with that application, but I'm sure that's how it works, pay for the product, then get it. So him using P2P would be legal anyhow. Also, music downloads are legal.

Quoted from "http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2004/music_downloading.asp""

"In Canada, for example, downloading
copyright music from peer-to-peer
networks is legal,
but uploading those files is not. Additionally Canada has imposed fees on
recording mediums like blank CDs and similar items. These levies are used to
fund musicians and songwriters for revenues lost  due to consumer copying.
Canada has initially charged this tax on MP3 players, but a recent Supreme Court
decision ruled that the law was written in such a way that these players were
exempt from the tax"

or maybe he is calling the kids bluff and asking him to write about it in his blog, hence implicating himself of a crime in writing for all to see and providing evidence for prosecution. It seems like a cleverly worded response, but then again he is probably just another arrogant rich person. I would be curious to know how concerned some of these execs truly are about piracy. Seeing this sort of statement gives me the impression that it really isn't that big of a problem for these wealthy pigs.

I agree that it was probably wrong of the executive to yell at this kid, but I can understand why "from a perspective." People are always bitching and complaining about anything and everything. I get it... Tweet is suppose to be a place where you can express what your doings, your complaints, and whatever the fuck else people might "give" a shit about. Anyways, if the kid was unhappy with the fact that it wasn't available to him yet, then he should of just P2P it, then paid for it when it came out to his area.

He could also have tried giving an actual answer to the customer problem.

so basically the rep for warner music in Norway said he could steal it? I hope that "brat" congest their pipelines with p2p traffic now.  What an idiot.  I do agree with the kid.  They wonder why piracy is really high over seas. duh you wont let them get most of the stuff. *face palm*
