Everyone else who wants a free copy is entitled to it?

Then why am I able to burn a copy onto CD for my own backup? Or are you telling me that's illegal too?

Anyone else see the irony in Kazaa complaining about copyright infringement?

Indeed. But some would insist it's a matter of degrees.

No, I'm not saying its illegal. I'm not even saying that file-sharing ala Kazaa is illegal. But it has the potential to wipe out entire industries (music/movies/games/book publishing) involving creative works. The law needs to catch up with the digital age.
