I do realize it, but it isn't the same as when napster was growing exponentially every day... if that hadn't have been stopped things would be different. If napster hadn't been taken care of and the other publicity along the way, I doubt that itunes music card sales would have even got off the ground. Limewire is far from what napster was turning into at its peak.

You are right though, it would probably take many more high profile cases of individuals being sued or prosecuted to really cause a shifting of attitudes.
