I agree with you about the blame

And about people complaining that the software companies are fighting back with technology, which I think the software companies should do

I don't download mp3's, but then I also don't buy many CD's, so I can't really comment much on that side of things. I do feel CDs are not good value for money.

I'm not really into pirated films either, I'd rather see a film I think will be good in the cinema.
When I have downloaded films, it's either been so that I can watch them while I'm working nights and either my DVD of the film is stuck up north, or its a film I'm thinking of getting and if it's good, I'll go out and buy it, if it's not (like the hulk) I'll save my money.
