I am just a greedy thief. I pirated windows simply because I didn't want to pay for it. Then my computer started telling me my version of windows was illegal... I booted up in safe mode, found the offending file, and deleted it... took about 15 min. of my time, and now I don't have to bother with it.
P.S. - Windows has been ruled an abusive monopoly on multiple occasions

I'm not saying that is is ok to download music because of this, I am just saying that filesharing is not "contained" when the bandwith has increased 10fold since the first cases. If the RIAA had not shut down napster, everyone would still be using it, and downloading less music as a result. The RIAA has fanned the flames, and now claims that it has "contained" filesharing, when this is clearly not the case.
Note: I am not arguing whether filesharing is immoral or not, I am discussing the article above.

On napster, i could download a song in about half of an hour. Using bittorrent, I can now download an entire discography in that time, or I can download a CD in aobut 5 min. It is obvious who is winning this war.
