So what makes "file-sharing" or P2P whatever...any different than being in a book club, going to the library, listening to a radio in a public place, taping a song off the radio, reading a magazine in a store or wating room, surfing the internet...seeing images from the road of a drive=in movie theater...I mean, this can't continue, can it? I guess that the RIAA could institute gestapo-like regulations on what format mastertapes could be made in, and try to regulate the sale of cd-rom/rw hardware/software and then try to shut down the internet, but still, there'd be the pesky cassette tape problem...they're in every dollar store in the world!!
In the end, they can't shut down sharing of files, any more than they could make us stop growing flowers on our front lawns that other people actually can see, smell and even if they so choose-touch!
The RIAA is greedy and wrong.
