I do a lot of file sharing but I have no illusions about the wrongness of it and I do not begrudge the RIAA or the MPAA for doing whatever they can to protect their assets. You can hide behind all the technical bullshit you want to but the fact is that you ARE stealing from them.

Might as well save those millions and find an artist with talent.

I'd believe that they lose money if it is less than 40-50 cents per song. I think up to 75 cents per song would be fair. You can get a full album for less than $10.
