If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Why is your bathroom door shut, anyway? What are you hiding in there?

copyright infringement is 'Terrorism' or 'Pedophilia'

Let's see...

By copying music, you are creating more playable media.
Therefore the copied music will be played more often.
Which means more people will be exposed to the copied music.
This will result in more people bying the music they just heard.
By definition, copied music is music that has already been released in some original form.
People are now buying music by artists that already released music.
They don't equally increase spending on artists that have yet to release music.
It is within reason to assume current children will want to make and release music in the future.
Therefore, copying music is basically screwing children.
Copying is pedophilia! It is logically proven.

Now as for terrorism...
