crime is not fashion

it has been an issue for years, downloading music or videos on the internet illegally. it is a problem that exists, but only in a "well that wouldn't happen to me type of way." you hear about the eleven year old in california being sued, but not you, or your roomate, bestfriend, sister.
what is worse, the fact that we as consumers continue to perpetuate this issue, or that the industry continues to do it. creators of utorrent or limewire, or of early napster, or any of those programs new exactly what they were encouragin users to do. is today's world so corrupt and greedy that people will create programs which are the pop-culture definition of illegal? even after the writer of that post admitted she got caught, those commenting back warned her its only "scare tactics" and its "no biggy."

really. we are addicted to downloading music like crack.
its creepy.

but what can i say, i do it. but you know, i can stop any time i want.
