"File swapping"... isn't that the new politically correct term for that silly, out-of-date, old-fashioned word... what was it... oh yeah -- STEALING?

It doesn't have to be. If I own a cd collection of 400 albums and I download songs from those albums onto my laptop I am not stealing. I've already purchased a license to hear that music in any way I should choose (why it's legal for one to make tape or cdr compiolations of ones existing cd collection). If I want to download a song and have it on my laptop that's not RIAA's business. They want the ISPS to turn me in and to bill me again for music I already bought. To me, *that* is stealing. Not to mention a violation of my privacy.
