That's exactly my point, but from a different angle: We shouldn't let 
Hollywood or RIAA (a.k.a. "capitalist pigs") decide, where to draw the 
line. They want laws that justify _their_ acts.

Well, you've (we've) made illegal copies of music and films for a 
decade or two. Nothing new in it. Remember, the recording industry 
tried to stop c-cassette copying too... It's not about stealing at 
all, it just about greed. Recording industry wants us to pay in every 
turn it's possible to get some money.

The real reason is for the Napster buzz is, that the middlemen in the 
whole recording industry are starting to lose the justification for 
their existence. At the same time, record sales have continued to 
rise...
