(I step up)
I subscribe to the thought, "You can't get blood out of a rock." I live in Texas and the RIAA may be able to get a judgement but they will never collect on it. As for the morality of file sharing, specifically music files, my view is that as artists/musicians should sing for thier supper. That is make their $ performing live. The recording industry is raping artists left and right and because of todays technology they are out of a job, much like the Blacksmith of yesteryear. I listen to groups that I would never have heard of before and if they would get out and play I would gladly go see them, as I enjoy a show. The artists aren't inflating the price of music, the music companies are. This is a full fledged revolt by the people and our message is, "Off with their heads!". If I were a musician I would put my music on my website for all to download for a nominal fee, say a $1 or $2 and, in the words of the Right Reverend Ray Charles "Hit the road Jack". As for CD's that can't be ripped and other such nonsence, if it can be played it can be re-recorded, period. Get with the program music industry and stop your insane attack on the hand that feeds you.
