Filesharing Right or Wrong

The record companies claim that record sales have plummeted since

the idea of "piracy" yet they seem to have been doing fine since

said piracy.

Not only have they been suing random people out of house

and home but when you sell cd's with a dozen songs tops for $20 do

we really have a choice. Adding on to that it's only the record

companies that have a problem with file sharing the artists of the

music have said that they have no real problem with file sharing and

if the artist is really worth listening to the same downloaders

would go and see them live.

Also if the artists really liked making music they wouldn't care if

people download their music and, they should be proud of themselves

that people are willing to wait half an hour to download their CD.

Also since when did the term intellectual property beccome such a

big deal it used to be if you publish, sell or make any money off

somebody elses work now it's just a way for some rich guy who's to

lazy to make his own money that he has to resort to cheap tactics

to keep his million dollars because he doesn't think he can live

without a mansion and more maids butlers and cleaning lady's than

people who don't ask to get paid.

Also what makes all this worse is that these people who are against

it now would download just as much music if he was 10 years old now
