RST101 i agree with you in principle, morally it is wrong, unfortunately, if you were to challenge it, you would lose, the fact of the matter is, that these big companies have the lawmakers in their pockets, and things will not change any time soon,

of course with the advent of the digital britain report, soon we will all be assumed to be pirates until proved otherwise, and can have our internet access cut off if we're even suspected,

It's quite simple really.

Downloading something you are meant to pay for is theft, no matter how many ways it can be rationalized to the contrary.

Does the proposed punishment fit the crime? Far from it.

Is getting vexed in a forum thread that has zero impact on the outcome pointless? Yes.

...yeah, right. If you have that money, good for you. But, not me.
