Stealing intellectual property over the internet is still stealing. If you do it you are a thief. The only thing Limewire and Kazza and the like are good for is stealing intellectual property. Practically everything you can get there can be legally purchased either online or at a store.
I believe you will find that the majority of people who post here agree with my position on this subject and the ones who don't mostly have the good sense to keep their opinions to themselves.
If you don't want to get lectured don't start threads that basically say "LOOK AT ME!! I'M A THIEF!!"
Actually I beleive it all depends on what country you are in and what the laws are in your country.
In the US. Yes its considered stealing.
In other countries File sharing is perfectly legal
Personally I dont really care one way or the other
But I beleive no matter what your stance. In the end the recording industry is fighting a battle it cant and wont win.
Now Im not supporting this type of activity. Im just stating my opinion on where I see it going
Most of the things I look for are freely available with a simple websearch.
No KAZA or Napster or Limewire needed
BTW Im IN
These types of threads tend to not last very long LOL
