yeah, I actually agree with you. If you can illegally download any album then it takes away from the artists who let you download their music for free or for reduced price. For instance the group Death Grips just released their new album today for free but since people can just steal any album most won't appreciate how cool it is to have a band that signed to a major label releasing free music.

Also, quite frankly, I'm sick of spending $1000s on professional apps and then pirate kiddies have the same shit but this is one of the joys of using a Mac. The pirate kiddies ask "where can i download a cracked copy of Logic Pro, bro?" and I have to say "Sorry, Logic Pro is Mac only, kid".

The law only applies for using p2p at the the application layer. I would think about 3 out of our 120 politicians have a basic understanding of torrents/internet.

There are so may obvious ways around this but they either cost or are less convenient. http://bayfiles.com/ is just in time.

It also makes it so you are very unlikely (a little less than before) to be prosecuted under our general copy-write law. I would say the stupidity of discrimination against protocols makes will make piracy easier.

If you don't get the premium membership your download speed will be xyz kb/s. Can somebody translate that to me ? That's written on the page of the bayfiles premium membership .
