Just my personal view on Kazaa, etc. I have never downloaded a single, FREE copyrighted song and never plan to do so. I think everyone should be paid for their efforts unless they specifically wish to share it in the truest sense.
Songs, Software, whatever. I just can't rationalize it. No matter how you present it within the context of "Sharing". If I'm listening to a song or CD that another person has purchased and I'm not sitting in that person's living room listening to the song on their stereo or I haven't taken their CD to my home to listen on my stereo, then it isn't shared, it's stolen.
