As digital file sharing, webcasting and other new technologies proliferate, artists and industry officials meeting in Washington said the music business is in jeopardy unless artists, record companies and consumers stop fighting and start compromising. "People are always looking for what side to be on, and there isn't just one side," said Jenny Toomey, executive director of the Future of Music Coalition, which sponsored the policy summit.
