Really, you are getting a song/movie/book or whatever that they produced for free. Something that cost them money to produce. Yeah, it doesn't cost them additional money for you to steal it, but if everyone steals it, they'll never make the money back that they spent producing the thing. What happens is, the price of CDs and legit media is increased to make up the difference. (Leading to more downloading...) Not like I care, but you can't dismiss his argument on the basis that you're just copying the files, not stealing them. If you created a website (for example) and spent days on it, and then I just downloaded all the files, changed the name, and uploaded it as my own, you'd be pissed, right? But I didn't steal it - you still have yours - I just copied it :P Duplicating it is where the legality comes in. Really, you are getting a song/movie/book or whatever that they produced for free.

I do. Friends would record tapes they had for friends, and vice versa. With all the new YOUNG artist coming out these days. You think they could honestly say that they have never shared files before? You know "Da Man" would never sue it's own money maker(s). What if I went out tomorrow and bought the next new blockbuster dvd and invited 100 people over to my home to watch it with me? Could I be sued? Or even simpler... I sent the movie via internet to my neighbors house... I get sued. I walk it over.....? They don't mind at all you recommending your neighbor to go buy it, and presto!!! you are a unpaid salesperson for them. Gotta go cook a nice e coli breakfast, watch the wife put on her lead lipstick, snatch the lead painted toys outta of the baby's mouth, and help the teen put her bullet proof vest on for school picture day.
