I fully support the music and film industry. If file sharing is too rampant movie budgets will be reduced, DVD's will no longer be released for many titles and tv shows, music labels will be more reluctant to sign on musicians that aren't mainstream, and ultimately it will be the sharers that lose out! If dvds/blurays aren't released for movies, they'll eventually all become tv rips or cinema copies.

I'm not saying don't share, don't download!, I'm just saying if you really like a movie, tv show, or musician support them and buy the media.

Music & film companies certainly aren't angels, but blatent sharing and lack of purchases will just increase their 'assholeness'!

Sleep pretty darling do not cry

Last year I wrote a small program that produced every possible combination of notes up to 4096 notes long.
These were published on the web to claim copyright - anything the music industry does from now on is mine.

A shame there's not a well publicised one day event, where no one buys, downlands, or purchases in any way, a track or album of music, or a film, just so these parasitic pests know exactly what their customers think of them and their bosses. Hitting them in the only place that would make them and their political/judicial cronies take notice. A global event, just for one day.

Bob:Well it didn't take Bush and Company long to dismantle our constitutional rights now did it"
The two party system in the states is a fallacy. Big con job to make people think they have the democracy from years past.
Why hasn't Obama returned what was taken away by Bush and crew. It will just continue by this president. So far I havn't seen any heads roll,just talk, until all is forgotten. Just enough in the news to make people think that something is happening.

"While he admits that he made money by selling his software, he denies having done anything wrong."

Pablo Soto never sold his programs. He only made money thanks to the adds.

Well it didn't take Bush and Company long to dismantle our constitutional rights now did it? Working for big companies is what he did best. It's what GOP's do best, make the CEO's happy but screw the workers.

The music industry paid top dollar to put their henchmen into office. These henchmen include Obama and Joe Biden who are happy to put pressure on the little guys to help their God Father within the music mafia out.

"[Sue]Colt because the gun was used to rob a bank"

People have already done that in the USA...

All this leads to is more publicity for these applications leading to more people (average Joe's) using them to download music and movies.

Keep up the good work RIA Ass. and music co!

Those music companies have a bunch of trained monkeys for lawyers. Why try to trial the creator of this software? Yeah what an EVIL man he is (lol). Ohh my; maybe they are planning to sue M$ too due to the fact that the file sharing software was probably used/run on their voleish software! Wait they can also sue AMD/INTEL because the software was using their hardware! Nvidia: you are ok until you release your GPGPU proc. After that you are on your own!

OK RIAA/Music co’s. – I’m gona start charging YOU for my super cool ideas for NOW ON.

Jeje

And next they will sue Ford because on of their cars was used in a hit and run or Colt because the gun was used to rob a bank
