Answer

I think you get a lot of file-sharing apologists you make these arguments. You know; record companies made lots of profits in the past so they’ve had it coming to them. Businesses are in business to make profits, that what they do. That’s how the real world works. It’s just not acceptable to steal from people. It’s an alarming trend if people think that because someone is rich that it’s okay to steal from them. MORE!
