Cool pic Sgt Stryker. I like how you can see the shock waves on the water.

A few things -

1- It is stealing, it is costing the recording industry money, They are doing what needs to be done. You do not have the moral high ground if you are downloading files.

2- Saying "they have plenty of money so its ok" is not a good justification. A bum could say that I have plenty of money so its ok to break into my house. I would still be very pissed and I would, at the very least, call the law.

3- If the above dont bother you, then do whatever you feel is cool, but keep a realistic point of view about what you are doing.

4 - Dont be dumb. Dont share 800 files on napster. I dont play nice, I dont share with strangers on the well known networks. I like kazaa, it keeps the attnetion focused on the noobs and away from me. Keep a low profile. Remember, they are after the dealers, not the users. The free-for-all days of music downloads are probably coming to an end in the not so distant future. Find differnt sources or methods if you must. It probably wont be too long before many of these file sharing sites go offshore, if there is any money in it.
