You know what pisses me off so much, it is the whole issue of the "file-sharing"/P2P bullshit of it being illegal. I don't why the fuck is the RIAA/FBI/MPAA all just targeting people, like a fucking witch hunt. People are not killing anybody, raping anybody, etc; they are just average people listening to their favorite music and movies. If the FBI wanted to spend money on arresting people, they could be utilizing it on arresting pedophiles and rounding up suspected terrorists, its just bullshit people are getting arrested for a simple download of an album or movie.
People have told me ,"file-sharing is stealing", in my opinion, its not stealing. Various bands, have made a profits over the years with all the cd sales, radio airplays, publishing, live shows/concerts, I don't get why the RIAA gets all bitchy about it for. And also movies, it a bitch, that the MPAA gets all pisted of about that too. A movie makes movie from all the tv ads/spots, boxoffice revenue, and dvd sales, I don't understand the notion that they are comparing the lost sales to people downloading a file of a movie for. A file is a file, its not a physical object. Its a travesty, that in this day and age, people are just getting arrested for just downloading their favorite Pink Floyd album , or their favorite movies, it seems something out a witch hunt.
I have made my point, I hope I've sparked an intrest in the topic.
