 | CD Burners, CD-Rs, VHS recorders, casette recorders.....all of these devices are used to make copies of copyrighted
 material and are perfectly legal.  They are found in almost
 every North American home.
 
 What is the difference?  These devices cost money.  The
 government generates income through taxation of these goods.
 Giants like Sony and Panasonic have a little $$$ to say
 things about their CD recorders and VHS recorders.
 
 File Swapping is free and the government generate any money
 through file swapping.  This has nothing to do with piracy.
 If it did you wouldn't have that CD recorder installed in
 your PC right now.
 
 Food for thought.   Either way, musicians are losing money -
 difference is, governments are making money with tangible
 audio and video recorders.

 | 1) companies have been aware of and fighting software piracy since the early '80s and they stopped many years ago with
 public campaigns to stop it because they know they can't.
 instead they just jack up the prices!
 
 2) in a strange twist of fate, software companies actually
 make the best out of piracy. they hook people on games so
 that when they have to, they'll buy it (such as when they
 want it or its sequel for a game console instead of the
 computer). frequently and very importantly companies use
 piracy to establish their software as the frontrunner in the
 career field, eg: adobe software (photoshop especially).
 some companies even make their software relatively easy to
 pirate (ie: all you need is a serial #) so that practically
 anyone can get the full version for free, get immersed in
 it, and then enter that field. such as if a 12 year old does
 photoshop stuff for 8 years it's almost a given he'll start
 or join a company dealing with graphic design, and then you
 have to actually pay for the software, plus all the offshoot
 programs and updates. so piracy can actually be good
 marketing, just like for music.

 | The music industry is angry because it allows us to more readily find out about music that isn't advertised by the
 large record labels.  Without file sharing, most people will
