Lovely quote

[green_amber]

from A Nother mailing list trying desperately to think how to condemn the raid on TV LInks while not aligning themseves with (gasp!) software piracy.

""Organised crime DVD factories take money away from rights owners and use
it to fund organised criminal activities (which our government has claimed
includes drugs and terrorism). File sharers still take the money away
from the rights owners but at least your typical student file sharer will
be spending it on textbooks and beer"

True. And before filesharing, many of us bought CDs that we then realised were unlistenable.
