but overall i agree that lawsuits arent the answer, the MPAA and RIAA need to think ahead of the game and take control over these methods to use them to benifit themselves if they really want to reduce their 'losses' if they realized that their prices are too high, and took a lesson from itunes and similar services they would probably curb a good chunk of illegal downloads and actually sell more product.Hardcore, i pretty much agree with your point of view. there seems to be a fine line between illegal and immoral when it comes to this topic. Im not that familar with actual copyright law as im not a lawyer and dont pretend to be, but i wonder what the official legal stance on loaning a tape to your friend is. do the blockbusters and hollywood videos pay licensing fees that allow them to rent movies? I think part of the problem is, the current copyright law really doesnt adequatly cover some/most/all of these possibilities
