Exactly. I can't believe how many people are soo self diluted that they think they really have a right to download music. God damn, its not your music and if you want it you have to pay. I'm definately not saying I haven't downloaded music before, but I don't think its right for people to do something that is illeagal but then complain to high hell that they got caught and its "not right". This is just like speeding. People think they can break the law, drive 90, but when they recieve a ticket, they take it out on the cop.
I definately think what the RIAA asks for punishment is out of line but that doesn't change the legallity of downloading music.
If you want to do something illeagal, have the balls to take your punishment when you get caught.
