Yes, Nettwerk Records absolutely gets it! From the press release:

"Suing music fans is not the solution, it's the problem," stated Terry McBride, CEO of Nettwerk Music Group [which] has agreed to pay the total expense of all legal fees as well as any fines should the family lose the case against the RIAA.

"Litigation is not 'artist development.' Litigation is a deterrent to creativity and passion and it is hurting the business I love," insists McBride. "The current actions of the RIAA are not in my artists' best interests." [...]

Nettwerk Music Group is Canada's leading privately owned record label and artist management company, responsible for managing some of North America's biggest artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Avril Lavigne and many others. Nettwerk has several offices located around the world including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Nashville and London. Its home office is in Vancouver, B.C.

It makes me want to go out and buy some Nettwerk albums right now.
