Another thing I don't understand about this whole situation is with regards to sharing music.
Let's say for instance I use piratebay to download and listen to Linkin Park's "In the end", which happens to be a song I like.
If I share that, through bittorrent, I'm apparently committing a crime, right? I'm violating someone's copyright, could face a heavy fine and someone loses money as a result (blah blah)
But, that same song is available, for free, on youtube, via Warner bros' official youtube channel -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yw1Tgj9-VU&feature=plcp
It's had,
39,580,982 views.
By watching that video/song, it's downloaded to my PC in a temporary area, thus, I now have a copy for playback whenever I want to, so Warner bros has lost a sale.So I have to wonder, what the hell is the point of going after people for "sharing" songs which are already shared on places like youtube?
