"Speaking at the iTunes Music Festival in London last night, to an audience comprised largely of teenagers, Stephen Fry launched a somewhat surprisingly ferocious attack on how the entertainment industry tries to defend copyright interests in the digital age.
"Fry said that when it came to pursuing file sharers "my business - the film business, the television business, the music business - is doing the wrong thing".
"Fry thinks that it is preposterous to think that "someone who bit-torrents an episode of 24 is the same as someone who steals somebody's handbag". He has a good point, of course, but new research might suggest that such actions are having results."
