Re: Victory for European filesharers
I'm torn. I agree that it is good that the entertainment industry cannot go around accusing everyone and getting all their internet info, but at the same time, reread your title for a second. Victory for european filesharers. Thats like me saying "Victory for american car thieves". Granted a car is worth more than a music file, but none the less you are stealing. Period, end of story. Music (like software) is only free to distribute if the author/artist says it is. If you don't like that, only listen to "FOSS" music so artists get the message. Or go write to your elected officials. Do something productive if you do not like the status quo... but if your choice is to steal, regardless of your moral views on the subject, you cannot be surprised or offended when they prosecute you.
Sorry, I know that isn't the topic of the thread, but the way the title was worded really bothered me.
