I'm 100% in agreement with hrunting (and I'm a HUGE Metallica fan, BTW). I've downloaded MP3s of current, copyrighted music and recorded them to CD, but I know it's wrong and wouldn't even attempt to justify it--morally or legally. I did it only because I could, and it wouldn't bother me at all if all MP3s dropped off the face of the earth tomorrow. Can I make copies of [pick a pc game] and distribute them to my friends? Sure I can, but would I defend my legal right to do so? NO! How could I?
