Hrmm...I remember the newsgroups being the first to see it. Why doesn't the MPAA go after newsgroup downloaders? Oh yeah, it's not p2p. When will people realize that the only "safe" way right now to pirate is though Usenet services that offer X-Header stripping? Yeah, and I wouldn't want Lucas to starve to death over lost sales...
About the homeless guy stealing $100 from you physically, yes, you lose it. However, if I steal SW3, Georgie Boy doesn't lose any money. It's like a homeless guy not buying an album of mine because I play in a local band. That homeless guy would never have bought my album in the first place! If he wants some free MP3s of our songs, I would fucking give it to him because I would be happy to have someone interesed in our music! Of course, we play out a lot and other people buy our merchandise, but I'm not going to hunt someone down for downloading our band's music over BitTorrent. I would rather shake his hand...
