To All of those of you that think this is unfair. It's becuase you have not created anything value yourself.

You opinion will change when you are the artist. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR STEALING AND REDISTRIBUTING SOMEONES WORK PERIOD! And if you are doing it you are stealing from them period.

I am an author and watched one of my products go from very successful to almost nonexistent in sales partially due to piracy and file sharing.

If you are sharing it yo are preventing sales period. For example someone come to my web site wants to buy my product them googles it and some low life has put it up on some file site and that then pops in the google search. They then download it instead of buy it. This can put you out of business really fast since you are paying for traffic.

The porn industry is about to implode becuase of the same thing and lack of DRM on the films making them to easy to re-distribute them.

None of your arguments stand up no matter what they are. This guy stole and the re-distributed. If he had been smart he would have just kept the damn file for him self, or smarter how about just buy the 30 songs and save himself $625,000. No body is perfect we have all downloaded stuff at one time or another but when you start to share it back out you are competing for business at with a price of FREE and they in unfair to the people selling creating the content.

Oh and all of you people that get mad at the artists like METALLICA grow up and get a life you losers. They deserve every penny from every song, you not fans your losers go make you own music if you don't want to pay the artist.

BTW this kid is lucky he's not going to Jail!

BTW I think copyright should last as long as you have any living HEIRS period. I see no reason to have it end at all. If one persons work could support generations I have no problem with it. That would only inspire more people to create and make less poor people.

With certain new allowances for fair use. Ending copyright does not allow more creation it hampers it. Because most people want public domain to recompile and make a quick buck with little effort not to make legitimate derivative works.
