[...] Part of the reason is convenience, these sites are faster and easier to download from than any file sharing network. Some of it is safety in that these sites are not monitored as aggressively by copyright holders, but much of it is legal. These sites, protected by safe harbor provisions, will remove works when notified of infringement and don’t face the legal issues Napster and Grokster faced, though Rapidshare is being sued in Germany and did suffer at least one setback.

Hey “calm and collected”

If that were the case then people like me would be happier. However that is not the case. You dont buy my product when you can get it for free. I work hard to put a product out there and people steel it. If its good enough to steel than why not pay for it? instead I get one sale that gets shared with millions.

What do you do for a living? What if I stole the product of your hard labor?

Would a store owner be happy if I walked in took a magazine and told him I would be back to pay for it tomorow if I enjoyed it?

Hey “pissed off”,

Take a chill pill. Why don’t you start putting 10 good songs on your album and guarantee my money back if I’m not satisfied within 30 days. I’ll gladly go and buy your album. Until that happens I’ll download and listen and if I like it, I’ll go and actually buy a legal copy.
