July 1, 2009 - the day the music wars started in earnest. Last night the guys from Dovecote Records , a small music label based in New York, were hanging out at their local bar. Employees from file sharing startup LimeWire showed up to have a party. There was confusion over the ownership of some pizza, and a riot almost ensued. From the Dovecote Blog : Woman: “Who the FUCK are you? And why are you eating our pizza?” Kosuke and Paul look confused. Kosuke: Are you joking? Is this a joke? Woman: No this is definitely NOT a joke. I want to know who you are and why you’re eating our pizza.
