So now I have a gun, I am trained, the gun is locked away in the gun safe with the trigger lock on.
When I wake up in the middle of the night I have trouble finding my ass to scratch let along finding two sets of keys, gettting the gun out and loading it.
All the excuses for piracy (for want of a better word) seems to be "I think that the goods are over priced therefore I will just take them". I think coke is over priced but this would not justify me just go into a store and take one. Someone owns that music because they created (and marketed etc) that music and you are stealing from them taking it without their permission end of story.
If you do not like the conduct of the record and movie companies there is an easy remedy DO NOT BUY (OR USE) THEIR PRODUCT.
Also this is not a civil rights issue, no one has died from not seeing the latest star wars movie.
NOTE : I am talking about P2P sharing of music and movie here not personal use. The people using P2P networks to share music know exactly what they are doing.
