So then turn down your next raise

think there should be content protection laws, I just think they should be fair, balanced, in perspective, and serve the greater good. I don't think they should just stuff the pockets of the few at the expense of the greater good.

Then turn down your next raise. Many can't afford many of the priducts currently on the market as they cost too much. True, the salaries of the people creating and manufacturing it contribute to the high cost, so if you and your coworkers turn down you next raise, heck, maybe even take a bit of a cut, then alot more people could afford the products you help make.

I agree, it is different when it effects us dirrectly, but hey, you started it.

everyone else is just a minor, minor, infraction at best IMHO. Also, just because it isn't legal to copy something that is copyrighted, doesn't mean that it is stealing to do it.
