A waste of time

First of all, it was not open source that set the stage for p2p applications. In fact We were ripping CD's on windows first and downloading from mp3 ftp sites.

Besides, people are still going to share and trade files no matter what happens. It's always been this way. That's how we got p2p software.

Copy rights should be protected. It is not the fault of users who were given the tools to share files. We have CD and DVD writers as well as VCR's and a wealth of hardware and software to copy anything. Who's idea was that?

This crap has been going on for years. It's a waste of time and money. There should have been protection in place before hand. Like write protection on media.

The bank has a vault, security, and alarms. Even though there is a law in place. It takes more than law, and rulings to stop theft.
