Why do so many people think it is right to be able to copy movies and music for free? I do believe in fair use rights, but things are getting to a point where people almost expect all movies and music to be free. What is wrong with protecting something that costs money to make? If "they" do not want to use the internet to distribute, why does that beget the acceptance of copying the content without paying? Yes, as I sit here thinking about music and movies, I want to watch what I buy, wherever I want to watch it, but if SOME restriction meant the system as a whole would work better, and I could get movies over the internet, I am all for it. Think of the iTunes store...
