The fact that this is happening on a large scale is what the problem is, but the fact that it is happening on such a large scale DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE ARE *SHARING* WITH EACH OTHER, AND NOT STEALING ANYTHING FROM ANYONE. I have the right to share what is mine with whomever I want.

This whole thing reminds me of when the music industry used to say the same thing about people copying music on their tape recorders, and later on their CD's and sharing it with others.

Ok enough...let's share ideas on how to stop these nuts from trying to prosecute us for *sharing* our own private files, and not go back and forth on the bogus legal claims made by the R.I.A.A. This thread is not for supporters of these nuts, sorry!
We've discussed this whole issue at length please see comments.
