Dre.The Entertainment Law Initiative was established by the Recording Academy® to encourage discussion and debate around legal affairs in the ever-evolving music industry and how they impact creatives and the greater music community. The only other person that said something in public was Dr. Everybody was too shit fucking scared and too much of a pussy to take a step forward. Every day that summer, there was not a musician or peer or somebody inside the music business who wouldn't pat me on the back and go, 'You guys are standing up for the rest of us.' But the minute we were out in public, we were on our own. And then all of a sudden this whole other thing happened and we were in the middle of it, alone.

The popular opinion now is a sort of revisionist history that we shouldn’t have sued Napster, we should have worked something out with them - well, no, there was nothing to work out with them. When asked why, Paterno explained, "Because they were basically thieves! It’s not a popular opinion.
