Yet Piracy isnt new.
As a kid I regularly Taped the top 10 off the radio.
I taped computer games, I taped the NOW albums off my friends on both vinyl and CD.

The difference now is that its much easier to do. I don think that it is as big a problem as record comapnies would have us belive and the RIAA is harming them by its actions.

Alienating the people you want to buy your product isnt the best way to get them to do so and walk away from Piracy.

The bottom line is that piracy can not and will not ever be stopped.
Whether you view it as right or wrong I doubt many people at some point in their lives have NEVER commited an act of piracy or watched a pirated movie etc.
