Copyright is apparently a difficult topic for most average joes to get their heads around. Because watch -- we're probably about to get hit with a bunch of irrelevant responses. Among the possibilities:

- CDs are "overpriced."
- The record industry "rips off artists."
- If I download something, the original still exists and nobody has been hurt.
- Kazaa is no different than the public library or Blockbuster.
- The entertainment business "should have embraced Napster."
- Etc., etc.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone has already launched one of these illogical gems by the time I finish writing this and hit the POST button.

right you are, and right on. look at 15, then 17. One guy is trying to argue that one class of federal felony is superior to the other. the other guy is arguing this: hey, grocery store owner, i'm taking this three-pounder of ground meat right because some time ago i feel i was overcharged for another pack o' meat that turned out not to be as tasty as i hoped (oh, and i, uh, bought it in another store). These guys are hopeless. But let someone take from their labors, and we'll need howl-squelchers.
