This is about hackers and theft. Apparently some on this board approve.

I don't condone piracy - and I have the iTunes bills to prove it.

But I'm more worried about the corruption of the legislative and judicial branches by the entertainment industry.

This racket being run by these Hollywood lawyers and their lobbyists is a scam and it needs to be shut down. It would be good for the industry, the artists and the consumers.

Fortunately, some of the smarter companies like EMI and Apple have seen the light and are working to reform the system.

I agree with you but we are not there yet. This “racket” is being done fairly through the legislative process. To change that, it’s up to those who see differently to prevail through that same process. If outright theft hadn’t been a major issue to begin with, the encryption software wouldn’t be there in the first place. Everybody has their reasons.
