Who's saying I don't already? I don't approve of anyone stealing, but I also don't approve of lopsided penalties like $150,000 per mp3. These types of tactics are not proportional to the "crime" in question. In fact, it brings a whole new meaning to the term "non-linear"
Didn't you know this was going to be the end result?
People have been saying this for years.. Over and over:
"If you don't stop stealing software and music, they are going to come down on EVERYONE like a ton of bricks.. Then, it's going to suck for us all, legitimate and illegitimate computer users alike, and we will have to deal with lawsuits and copy protection out the wa-zoo. Can't copy that digital picture of Grandma and send it to the folks back home? Thank the downloaders.. Got sued because they thought your garage band's MP3 was a metallica rip off? Thank the downloaders.. "
And all I ever heard in response was garbage like: "They can't stop downloading, "man""
Well, guess what? They're about to..
And frankly, I like this solution allot better than copy protection so tight you have to phone MS to re-install windows every time it crashes.
