Stief, my friend did not acquire an "idea", he was referring to a television news article in the UK that was broadcast last night.

It does seem similar to the article you mentioned, however.

I know that record companies don't like it, but I really don't see how they can have a case for prosecution. News articles like this one always crop up from time to time, and the reporters don't even seem to know the first idea about file sharing or even the functions of Internet downloads.
