I only download things that I cannot get my hands on elsewhere, and I don't have a problem with it, as long as I know there's no alternative
although I have been guilty of looking for songs on a CD before it comes out (but I still buy the CD, of course) you can't download linear notes, and extras *loves her weird al CD with bonus home movies*
I do think the ISP thing is a tad rediculous, just because how immense they have tried to make it. I can understand the people who rip movies before they come out, but getting everybody who's had any action, and put them in jail? that would put the nation in a hard position, I think fines should be in place. This is the type of thing that even if you can stop it now, someone will be able to make a program with untraceable ISP's, just watch and see.
I think this problem just comes because of the internet, and it cannot be stopped, but right now, I'm more angry at the people who keep attempting to send me viruses (got 12 today)
