I have no investment in that corporation and the act of downloading does not cause human harm or suffering, so the law is irrelevant to me. I will download within a given range of what I personally find to be acceptable.I don't know if you're American (I'm not), but I think that some secretly see downloading as a mini Boston Tea Party: the laws are excessive and unfair, so fuck the man. Right?

Though, obviously, we see alot more of that than anything else.That doesn't mean the law wasn't made for them. There are also double standards: music companies get to shake people down for thousands of dollors; but porn companies get their cases thrown out as frivolous "set ups."
