Douglas Merrill is everything one would expect. The new chief of EMI's digital unit is a Googler down to his soul, which means he's extremely bright, techie and dead set against suing fans for file sharing. "I'm passionate about data," Merrill said during a phone interview Wednesday with CNET News.com. "For example, there's a set of data that shows that file sharing is actually good for artists. Not bad for artists. So maybe we shouldn't be stopping it all the time. I don't know...I am generally speaking (against suing fans). Obviously There is piracy that is quite destructive but again I think the data shows that in some cases file sharing might be okay. What we need to do is understand when is it good, when it is not good."
