I don't know why people feel that it is fair to trade movies and music for free, and then get pissed off when someone tells them to stop.

I don't know why you care about what I do with my personal property.

I'm all for fairly compensating artists, and the studios, for that matter. My point is that they need to embrace technology and a new business model instead of forcing us, the consumers, the very people that give them their existence, into not having choices about formats, copying to new formats, fair use, etc.

They would rather us be enslaved to their outdated philosophy than to change. Paid subscription model-it works. Just ask any porn site that charges for access.

Going to the record store and buying another tripe filled CD with one or two good tracks for $20 isn't going to work for them much longer. They need to evolve, and perhaps "piracy" is the swift kick in the balls they need/deserve.
