Two mega-managers have two very different views of file-sharing and what to do about it.

**PAUL MC GUINNESS**  
would fix the music industry by shifting   
"the focus of [moral pressure](http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jan/29/musicnews.music?ref=hypebot.com)…on to the multibillion dollar industries that benefit from these tiny crimes" and "by engaging with and obliging ISPs to deal concretely with infringement on their networks."

**BRIAN MESSAGE**  
"File-sharing by peer-to-peer [should be legalized](http://www.nme.com/news/nme/44447?ref=hypebot.com). The sharing of music where it is not for profit is a great thing for culture and music."

**Who is right?**
