You can't have your cake and eat it to. The fact that it's easier to get away with stealing doesn't make it right... no matter how much you try to rationalize it; furthermore, most developers (music, software, whatever) do not download copyrighted objects from the net... perhaps because they have a little bit more respect for creative rights. |

| reply to mrchris IMO it's because people like getting stuff for free and they don't view downloading files as "stealing". Because you aren't physically taking something from someone and they still have a copy of it. Right or wrong there will always be many people who think that way. Plus you have to take into account that a majority of the stuff being downloaded the people would have never bought anyway. I do buy some movies and games, but I'm not going to say I don't download anything, because theres some stuff I wouldn't buy otherwise.
Of course some people will say that's not right, but if I still buy the stuff I normally pay for I don't see the problem. |

What are they gonna do when there'll be 10-15 million people on kazaa sharing? There's definatly something wrong with RIAA/MPAA if there's gonna be that many people. -- Play ET! |

My solutions were regarding those who wish to fileshare in a widespread community. |
