No it isn't. That's a particularly fatuous comparison to draw, and one that seems to be made often by people who have no respect for the right to share. Copying and stealing have nothing in common.

Also true. It's been proven time and time again that those who download music and movies still go out and buy them, and that those who don't buy them wouldn't do so anyway if it had not been for downloading. The industry isn't loosing anything.

Tomorrow I'm gonna copy a DVD that I get from NetFlix and keep it for my collection. Had I not had the option of doing that, I STILL would not buy that DVD.
However I have copied lots of DVDs for different purposes and then still went out and bought the real thing.

Understand?

That's irrelevant. Whether the industry is losing anything or not, copying shouldn't be restricted the way it is. In fact, as I've said before, if it's true that copying actually helps record labels etc. then in my opinion that's a bad thing.

you know how you fight the RIAA

BOYCOTT

buy music form independant labels.
enough people are pissed so that a boycott can work

so burn copies of your cds and give them to ur friends instead of them buying the cds if they have to have them and other shit too.
