Canada's leading independent record label has volunteered to pay all the legal fees and any fines of a Texas family facing legal action over p2p file sharing in the US.
Among the tracks David Gruebel's family is accused of sharing is Avril Lavigne's 'Sk8er Boi' and it is Lavigne's label, Nettwerk Music Group, that has leapt to his defence.
'Suing music fans is not the solution, it's the problem,' said Terry McBride, Nettwerk's CEO. 'Litigation is not "artist development". Litigation is a deterrent to creativity and passion and it is hurting the business I love. The current actions of the RIAA are not in my artists' best interests.'
