<p>Guess what? Your digital music library is not actually a library. It's considered "hoarding." </p><p> </p><p>The entertainment cartels have already pirated the word "pirate" to replace "counterfeit" and/or "duplicate" and/or "share." It's so much more PR-friendly -- more emotive and evocative. And it works so well in a sound-bite or a headline. </p><p> </p><p>Now the Organized Music family, Sony, Vivendi Universal, Warner Music and EMI, plan to do the same with "collection" and/or "library" when applied to file sharing, and they've chosen the shadowy NPD Group to deliver the message via a "study." </p>

Instead of "Pay Per View", they will shove "Pay To Play" down your throat!

Actually they can kiss my ass, as most of the music I download is to replace the shit I bought over the years. 45s, LPs, fucking 8tracks, and cassettes. They were lucky to get me to pay once for it, and I sure as hell wont pay twice.

Pirates is what i call people who sell what they steal for a profit. Hoarding is just a word meaning consumption.. WE consume too much, same goes with clothing and money.

They will try to tell the ignorant general public, that 1) We get ALL our files for free. 2) They are in big trouble, that we don't buy because we "hoard" not "shared"!

well the media and the music industry they are trying to make out to be angels can refer to everyone as pirates all they want which in the same way is being called a theif............. like the old saying goes........... it takes a theif to catch a theif ..... or game recognizes game....... and apparently its clearly visible that they are fitting into these sayings very comfortably......... dont worry though cowards only get brave in groups and seem to always pick on the single person....... and well it seems like i dont have to go any farther with that ......... im sure you all get the point
