Valid points Mike, but where does it end?
I've heard all the arguments of changing distribution methods, but nobody seems to be able to come up with anything that works.
You're right... this has been going on for years, but never on this scale. Kids growing up today don't even see anything wrong with what they're doing. Firing up bittorrent and downloading is just "how you get music". The thought of stealing doesn't even enter the picture. I don't see how anyone who's ever had anything stolen from them can't be outraged by that.
And how come people can't just walk into Best Buy and steal a new ipod to play their stolen music on? Nobody seems to care if you do it online, so what's the difference? These companies pay security companies (Public People) to watch over their stores to prevent such things from occurring. We've just come to accept that that's the way it is.
I do understand the privacy policy laws as well, but you're talking about privacy laws vs. breaking laws. The argument always ends up back at square one and it's so frustrating.
