Software/Music/Movie Piracy http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060127-6070.htmlThe reasoning behind Gates's prediction is economic. India and China, the two biggest piracy havens, are rapidly developing their own nascent software industries. The minute piracy stops helping the Chinese and Indian tech scenes (at America's expense) and starts seriously hurting it, the countries' governments will start to crack down. The hue and cry that Asian software firms will raise over piracy will get their governments moving, and at that point piracy will start to descend to the levels that it's currently at in other regions with advanced software industries, like the US and Europe.

Record companies can go to hell.
If you leave your shoes outside your door at night, and they get stolen, you have no one to blame but yourself. Similarly if the record companies bring out content in a format that can so easily be shared, they have no one to blame but themselves.

So you would rather, they sue the ppl doing the DLing ?

Its very grey.. They're showing the same line of thinking as our government who decided that banning blog services would bring down terrorism.So you would rather, they sue the ppl doing the DLing ?
