Making this analogy to P2P is exactly the same thing. They're both examples of people getting something for nothing, that they wouldn't have paid for either way. Freeloaders are freeloaders by nature. No law is going to stop it, it's only going to make life hard for you and everyone around you... and give the system one more way to screw you over.

I'm curious as to how you know people wouldn't buy things?
Ok, fine, maybe they wouldn't buy it. Then I guess they don't need it, do they? Fuck 'em.
