Eric Schmidt believes that intellectual property is essential to Google, and the company would not exist without intellectual property or intellectual property rights. Schmidt believes that a balance of interests needs to be found, and analogous models that pertain to newspaper etc need to be constructed.
Chuck D disagrees with Ulrich because Chuck D believes that recording artists make their music in order for it to be heard. It will be heard whether or not the consumer pays to hear it, and Chuck D has no problem with the fact that people download music illegally, he just wants his music to be heard by anyone that wants to hear it.
Lars Ulrich does not support illegal downloading because he believes that he, and other recording artists worked hard to produce the songs and that they should get the revenue that they deserve. Ulrich says the main issue is about control, controlling what you own, controlling what is on the Internet, and he wants people to understand what is at stake. He wants the issue to be that of public debate so that parameters can be set for the future because the artists have the right to control and own their music.
