I'm just waiting for some crafty lawyer to turn it around on the industry using their own words. Personally I have several hundred music cassettes, records from the 80s that no longer work. I also have a huge box of vhs movies, both kids and main stream action type movies. These media items no longer work. I PAID for the license and the right to use them and listen/enjoy them. I think the industry should keep up their end of the agreement and replace my music with cds and movies with dvds as I paid for the right to enjoy them and now I can't.
What if a million people sue for the replacement when our music and movies stop working???
If this was the case everything ever made should be replaced once it is no longer usable for free from the company that made it... lol Not going to happen.

Why download and risk the annoyances of the scare tactics? The winning equation to obtain mother by grey area ways is: NetFlix + DVD burner +a little program called DVDFab + some blank DVDs = unlimited untraceable movie copies for your collection. Just don't be a fool and share them on the web.

The flip side to the coin though is how the appeals will go for the IP ruling. If that goes through the FEderal appeals and is overturned, the lawsuit against the 23k will go forward.
Definitely a roll of the dice...
Out of curiosity, who thinks the people who donwload illegally should get a pass and why? I have seen people on here argue that sharing software / music / movies / etc should be outside the law. Just curious where peoples mindset comes in that its ok to steal.

So I'm not liking how they are suing people according to the IP address it was downloaded on.
