John you have made good point. shareware program itself is nothing it just a tool for downloaidng files. Like you mentioned downloading copyrighted material is felony. people don't get it, untill RIAAA will bust them. Someone I know had to pay $50,000 because she download copyrighted songs.

If I borrow a friend's CD and copy it, there is no way the RIAA will ever know, so I am safe. If I download the very same CD from his computer through a P2P site, I am a felon, just not caught yet. I fail to see the difference. Also DRM protected media will not allow you to copy the data to another device without ripping it first and converting it. If I want to put my freshly purchased CD on my Ipod without a lot of ripping and decoding hassle, I can't. This isn't copyright protection, this is holding the consumer hostage. If I buy a Windows CD, the info on the label says I cannot copy it without violating the copyright laws. The second paragraph down from this notice says I can make "one copy of the disk for backup purposes". Are you starting to see the hypocrisy here? Any artist or author has the right to be fairly compensated for his work and we would not have all the things we enjoy now if it were not for the copyright laws. However, until the laws are made more specific and made to respect the rights of the law abiding public, then P2P sites will flourish.

I'd say it is mostly natural. I had the identical factor occur to me as good. I suppose it used to be most commonly on account that you are so concerned approximately gratifying "God" and now not doing some thing flawed that you do not fairly care approximately some thing else as in comparison to now while you honestly get to take a seat down and scent the roses and now not fear that you'll be able to suppose anything that'll displease "Him". It's anything that fairly made me observe that I used to be fairly attuned with nature and taken me in the direction of Paganism. The male-feminine duality and the now not watching over your shoulder to be certain you are gratifying the Christian "God" or you'll be able to pass to hell is fine.

Since it became impossible to be a fan on a working man's budget.
copyright infringement is NOT stealing, it is a completly separate and less damaging crime. Any content that I may or may not download does not prevent the company from sellign that exact same content, as stealing a CD from the store would. It doesn't even hurt their sales by one, because I wouldn't have gotten a copy myself if it wasn't free to me.
Not that I would ever violate the law, you understand, just speaking in the hypothetical.

Not a file sharing program user. What concern is it to you?

It's not stealing- it's file sharing!
