Funny. But seriously, are you saying that lesser crimes should not be enforced? What they are doing is a crime. It hurts the business of the artist and the people who pay the artist. The record companies gamble everytime they sign an artist. Both the artist and the record company are entitled to receive 100% of the benefit from the exploitation of the artists work (exploitation in a good way). For every signed artist that makes it big, there are 20 that don't. The record companies count on the big artists picking up the slack for the smaller artists. That is how their business works.
Bottom line is this. In the year 2003, if you don't know that trading music files, or porn files, on a p2p network, or website, or ftp server, or whatever, is illegal..then you are either retaded, or you are trying everything possible not to know. ( I dont mean YOU specifically..Im talking about the general public).
