'Free content is an inexorable fact of life brought on by the unstoppable advance of technology.' How far do you agree?

Technology convergence is a huge problem for the music industry as it allows millions of people to download songs illegally, making the record labels very shaky.
I agree that it is very hard to stop illegal downloading as some people know no better than to download illegally but I do not think that it is unstoppable. If the record labels were able to shut down all the sites then it would be a help but there are real problems in doing this as the sites could be reloaded within a day. Millions and millions of people use these sites everyday, either on their computer, phones or ipods.
