If true, would that mean the RIAA/MPAA/etc, by attacking those who use file-sharing programs/torrents/online sharing sites the most, are discriminating against people because of their medical condition (clinical depression)?

Maybe if I'd been on Facebook it'd be different, but coming from deviantART, Dreamwidth, and LiveJournal, YahooGroups before that, and Usenet before that? Google+ is awkward, and I'm not getting much out of it other than reading Wil Wheaton's and a few other people's posts. I'm not finding much sense of community there.
There's already plenty of photo-realistic 3D art on the web, this is news? I've been using DAZ|Studio since it was version 2.something, my stuff's up on deviantART -- there's plenty of Blender and DAZ|Studio users posting there.
