I'm not a huge offender... only a few porn, TV and  application torrents here and there. No music, films or  computer games.

Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Pony trekking or camping, Or just watching TV. Finland, Finland, Finland. It's the country for me.
  You're so near to Russia, So far from Japan, Quite a long way from Cairo, Lots of miles from Vietnam.
  Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Eating breakfast or dinner, Or snack lunch in the hall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all. 	
  You're so sadly neglected And often ignored, A poor second to Belgium, When going abroad.
  Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I quite want to be, Your mountains so lofty, Your treetops so tall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.
  Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I quite want to be, Your mountains so lofty, Your treetops so tall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.

Heh... torrents are evil. I used one once, and got a notice  about my IP being used for illegal file transfers, and then  removed any torrent programs from my computer.

sounds like scaremongering bullshit to me.
  what happened to the Great Revolt against mp3-sharing? that  kind of withered.
 
  I wonder what will happen if a site gets busted that I have  used - do I fall under Dutch legislation? then I won't have  that much to fear.
 
  up til now, at least..

the other day I went to a local music store, then to my  surprise there was a long line of people, mostly young girls  (I guess maybe about 300 or more), that day was the concert  of this finnish band The Rasmus... heck, for a moment I  thought "if they have this kind of power over the girls,  then fuck electronic music, I'm starting my own rock band!!"  then I came back to reality to pay for a cheap Orb  single I was buying.
 
  oh yeah, about the torrents, I'm about to download "OHM- The  Gurus of Electronic Music" 3 cd's pack from OiNK
 
  what about suprnova.org, could they really bust all the  people that uses those torrents??

perhaps you can compare it to making copies of records on  tapes and giving them to your friends.
 
  I guess noone saw that as stealing, so I guess they won't  see this as such either.

People wouldn't "steal" as much if the prices weren't so  over the fucking top in the first place. I don't mind paying  for things but a lot of music is overpriced.

imho, people would 'steal' even if records cost a penny...  but, they'd still purchase the albums they liked... just as  most people do today.
 
  i'd say p2p does cut into the riaa's profits a bit.   probably not as much as they carry on, but i'm sure some  people steal the albums, and never purchase them, whereas  they probably would if p2p wasn't available.
 
  however, i'd also say that the extra interest generated by  having so very much music so very easilly available probably  creates a good deal of additional proffit that the riaa  wouldn't see without p2p.
 
  how it all balances out is anyone's guess.

I didn't say they wouldn't steal but I think it's be less.
