Stoopid. So all you do gooders sit their on your PC with your license for every piece of your software sitting right next to you. Hell I cold get on my neighors wireless and download a couple gigs of music and guess who would get blamed? Not me. And don't give me any crap about "he should have security on his router". It's so simple to hack those things a child could do it.
Don't even get me started about the rootkit fiasco.
"(AP) ST. PAUL, Minnesota - A man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for hacking into his neighbors' wireless network and framing them for distributing child pornography and email threats against Vice President Joe Biden and other officials."

Loons aren't to hard to catch especially when they admit to doing it.
The person who originally uploaded the material is the thief. Not the downloader(s).
All file sharing software functions by uploading to others those portions of the file you have downloaded. Therefore you are uploading while downloading.
Additionally. if I steal everything out of your house, and I set in on the street, and other people come by and start taking things, are they not also stealing?

Yes, everything on MY pc is licensed. You cannot get on MY wireless, and you can't root me either.
I'm still waiting to hear from all the people who think file sharing is such a heinous crime yet have no problem at all with the Chinese stealing and copying (and then selling the knockoffs back to America)...
The Music belongs to the Artist? What reality do you live in? Not this one.
Well, the artist owns 10% of it, the recording company owns the rest. Still it doesn't belong to the person who is illegally downloading it for free.

Is buying a second or third hand CD at a flea market copyright infringment? The Recording company is not getting a dime of the couple of bucks I pay for a disk. Why should they?
and you conveniently leave out: a second hand/third hand sale means that original cd is no longer in the hands of the original owner. The physical copy of that cd is now in the hands of the new owner.
You go out and buy a used car. Does that car still belong to the original owner or do you own it?

I do have a problem with the Chinese pirating of physical and digital goods. Just that our laws are not equipped to deal with those in a foreign country, where that country continues to protect such criminals.
Can you tell us how, US LAWS affect someone living in China?
