Sorry, I fixed my links above. I don't really care for PHP BB Code

>maybe if they did, place a lot of resources into taking down all of the P2P sites, instead of the little guy's, the little guy's might just get the message and stop downloading copyrighted material.....

Again, why should the P2P sites be taken down? They are providing a service, and that service is being abused by certain users - that warrants taking them down? Should the police shut down all freeways because people speed on them? Should the DEA stop boats from being made because boats are used to transport illegal drugs? Should District Attorney file murder charges on Gun Manufacturers any time someone is killed with a gun? I'm sorry, but you seem to be all over the place here. Didn't you say earlier that Napster was wrongly shut down?

If the little guys aren't getting the message (and they're not because illegal file sharing rates are up) when they are the one's getting sued, they aren't going to get it if someone else is getting sued. Ultimately, the little guy's demand is what causes the supply. If no one wanted a copy of the latest Boys To Men song - or whatever is hot now - people wouldn't take the time to share them.

I just get steamed when I hear justifications for the activity like "OMG, they charge way too much for a CD", or "The artists don't get much money from record sales." or "Hey, people in Africa aren't getting sued." Sorry for my ranting.
