Private property is private property. Someone owns the music, movies, content and have established a pricing and distribution agreement with the people that buy it. Just because we have created technology that allows us to copy and distribute content doesn’t obviate the need to protect IP. You are not allowed to photocopy books and distribute them either.

As above (#18), I don't condone piracy, and I don't do it.

Your argument is a red herring. The illegality of piracy has NOTHING to do with the WRONGNESS OF THE LEGISLATION.

What I object to is the gross and unconstitutional abuse of Federal powers that this legislation puts into play.
