I do NOT think file-sharing is stealing.

The reason why I say is because you are sharing files (hence the name, duh) with other people who have the file you are downloading. How the fuck is that stealing? If someone is nice enough to share with me a good quality MP3, movie or video game?

And then the downloader gets sued? Shit, if ANYONE gotta be sued, it should be the person who is SHARING the file for everyone to use. Not the consumer. It’s just like turning down a gift of something that was brought with questionable money. WE didn’t steal the fuckin’ money, why I gotta go to jail if I didn’t know where the money was from? Someone was nice enough to give me something ;; I’m not gonna ask the person where they got the money (or item) from – that’ll be rude. Right?

But to be real, why the RIAA, MPAA and all those other AA’s gotta stick their noses in people’s IP addresses any damn way? You shouldn’t be charging folks 50 for a damn DVD. That’s ridiculous. Then you brought the DVD and the movie was HORRIBLE. Bad actors, stupid plot, bad effects — just a waste of money. But if you DOWNLOAD it free, watch the movie and didn’t like it, you SAVED 50 bucks and you can pitch that movie in your Recycle Bin. Which would you rather do?

Now I can see if people are STEALING the MP3’s from musician’s cell phones, studios and shit and then put it up on the internet for people to have, then YES that is wrong. But if we are clueless on where the source is coming from, don’t fault the downloader but the person who UPLOADED the file or torrent. Investigate THEIR IP address, not ours.

Well, that’s just my opinion.
