I'd like to point out that "pirating" is the term the RIAA/music biz has given to file sharing/downloading. Previously "pirating" was the unlicensed manufacture of hit records for retail - like someone in South America copying Michael Jackson records and importing them cheaply into the US. Now RIAA is trying to brand fans/consumers as pirates which is wrong by definition and just plain stupid as a strategy. - CT John Reading wrote:
