Michael Jackson says Congress should not pass a law that would sentence music fans to prison for illegally receiving music through the internet. He expressed his concern about the approval of a proposed new bill to indict anyone for receiving any music under copy right . In a statement released on Monday, Jackson said: “I don’t know what to say about the idea of putting music fans in jail because they download music. Downloading is wrong, but the answer can’t be prison. Here in America, we’re creating situations to get people in trouble—not punishment laws. These fans are what make the music industry successful. I hope this doesn’t get forgotten.” He invited artists, the music industry, and consumers to find a more appropriate solution to this problem.
