Unfortunately they are well within their legal rights to do this (although I bet Tony Hawk wouldn’t care). The thing is, I still buy software, video games, music CD's and DVD's even though I know I can get them for "free".


The mindset seems to be that the some how the music industry or whomever is afraid of losing some little piece of chump change because of this. Although the statistics show that music, video, and software sales are not down at all. If anything they are up in most areas.

I suppose from a legal standpoint the copyright holders have to go after any and all infringements or it sets a precedent. Also historically speaking the legalities of a given situation seem to mean little when it's about about huge sums of money. Which apparently this whole file sharing threat is to somebody.
