Reasons why I will continue to use P2P and not care one iota for the whining and crying.

Same industry gave me a high speed high powered dvd burner drive.
Same industry sells me large spindles of high quality blank cds and or dvds for mere pennies a disk.
Same industry makes programs that can copy anything in existence.
Same industry provides me with high speed high volume internet service without any regard to how I use it.

If your wife is drop dead attractive, and oh so tied up alone in the woods naked and alone. If I walk past her, yes, I am probably going to enjoy her (like everyone else that happens buy).

If you leave your car running, keys in the ignition, full tank of gas, with the doors actually open just sitting there on the side of the road, I think you can assume it will be taken.

If you don't put doors on your home, let alone close them, let alone lock them. You might want to not leave anything worth anything in your home. It will likely be gone after your week long trip out of the country. Especially if you also don't get your mail picked up that is announcing to all, you are not home.

Downloading stuff is downloading stuff, and dumb is dumb.
I don't actually have to rent movies. And my only incentive to watch them at a theater, is they have a bigger screen than me.
That people are massively downloading films comes as no shock to me. The only people not doing it, are the ones that consider downloading it "to much effort". It's actually not, but people will convince themselves of the most amazing things eh.

The only thing that will happen if they continue to gang up on say Torrent sites, is people will not get to comfy at torrent site A, and given a month, they will have had to go to torrent site B. And given enough time, it won't be torrents, it will just be a new method. Heck I don't even know all the permutations of accessing digital data on the internet there are so many to choose from.

Basically, the only way Hollywood is going to win their pathetically ineffective war, is to actually address what makes it so easy to copy their films.
It's not easy because of a P2P program.

It's easy because dvd burner drives are cheap, as are the blank disks, and the programs are so easy to locate to make it all so easy. Plus the ISPs give out service that is so enabling.
Thus, they might as well sue Sony (made my burner drive), Fuji Film (makes best disks these days) Nero program's authors, and Bell telephone (my ISP).

They all fascillitate illegal activities.
