HUZZAH FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES IN FILESHARING

so, this entire saga with the Kazaa, Morpheus, Win MX et al. is really a bit bothersome. did anyone honestly download music knowing "I'm obviously breaking eleventy billion copyright laws! ::smile::"? and are the main artists in question (Madonna, Britney, and rappers I don't feel like naming) really tightening their belts and suffering because of this. if so, i would like to apologize for the fact that i don't always want to buy a cd for one or two songs that i actually care for out of possibly 12 songs i don't give a darn about.
i hope everyone who has a major cache of songs on their computer has avoided this crap. and to all you lucky folks with subpoenas, my utmost pity. screw you, riaa.
