Hey all,
       Personally I would like to weight in about the Copyright laws. While I 
have pirated both software and music in the past I do have to defend artists 
for wanting their fair share for Intellectual Property and the like. I do not 
agree with the prices, nor am I ever likely too. But, think can we pirate gas 
from a gas station and easily get away with it. Or walk out of a grocery store 
with a weeks worth of food, not very likely. So why is music or software 
different. Because we can log into a seemingly anonymous virtual world of the 
Internet that security and policing agencies are behind the technological 
curve. 
In the past year we have seen cyber crimes catching up and the RIAA filing so 
many law suits that I have gotten sick of reading about it and I can say that I 
have stopped downloading music all together. The new pay for download sites 
that Apple and Napster have launched are looking better day by day.
