3 edits |  Right about bad effects of P2P companies
She is right about bad effects of P2P companies and their policies. P2P software is inherently neutral, but how the main P2P providers advertise their products is hardly neutral. They push their products with the idea that it can be used for stealing music. And that is why the SC ruled against Grokster. So you really won't be successful legislating against the software. But you can legislate how the products are advertised and punish companies that push the illegal uses of the P2P software.

I am surprised that the RIAA hasn't been screaming about P2P as some lame excuse for Columbia House Music closing up shop. |

| It's the law, fool !!!
Despite the ignorant lead in opine to this story suggesting that lobbied elected officials are wrong for prosecuting illegal P2P activities and video game mfgs., the fact is the activities of scumbag P2P operators who facilitate illegal distribution of copyright protected materials and pornographic games intended for sale to minors, IS A VIOLATION OF LAW.
Denial doesn't change that, so those in DENIAL can expect to find themselves in a prison cell.
And those who bash the legislative and judicial branches of government for making appropriate laws and enforcing them are in serious DENIAL.
Time to get a grip on REALITY folks. |

Or download a few tracks. See if you like it. If you do buy the album. If not delete the files and move on. P2P is more than just script kiddies bragging about not buying anything. |

Please, let's look deep  into each politician's life, their entire family, etc., and take from it their best examples on morality, ethics, and social philosophy. Should make for some good comedy (hint for a TV reality show). |

P2P is more than just script kiddies bragging about not buying anything. You can download individual tracks legally from many online LEGAL music sources for nominal fees(99cents and less). There is no excuse to steal them, except by those with no morals(about 75% of young adults it seems).

Re: It's the law, fool !!!
Excuse, the public Internet facilitates the same activity. Maybe you should try looking in a mirror for once. And even with P2P the activities will not stop so the only thing you have accomplished is one of many, many means to an end.
Its not that individuals want to support and stop the activities, but I take a heck of a lot more offence to 'bought' politicians that lobbyists achieve stance-victory with that and tantamount to a "By Now' ad on eBay. |
