The sequel of my previous file sharing post arrives:

So Net pirates, who use file-sharing websites such as pirate bay to download copyright material in an illegal manor apparently spend a fair amount on legitimate versions of music too. But dose that make it right? Defiantly not:
If i was to enter a tesco store and steel 4 cans of coke…..
Then a week later go and buy 2 cans at ASDA….
Would this make me less of a thief? No.
If the ability for net pirates to download is non existent or significantly less… they will spend more! Thats like shipping, if there is CCTV, electronic tags and security staff, the risks for shoplifters are much higher so they can ether leave it, buy it or take the risk and get arrested!
I think we all know the way forward from here.
