But I'm surprised that he's in favor of downloading music for free - I mean, he pretends to be this morally upright fellow and all...and as you said, stealing IS stealing.

Can I get one of those lattes?!
Who, me or Jefferon? I'm starting to see your point with the stealing thing. Hell, I'll admit I switched to iTunes a few months ago and only pirate things I can't find there (*cough* TOOL*cough*), but I still don't think it would be possible to stop file sharing. Technology's at the point where anything can be done over the internet, and once an easy, profitable practice is invented, it spreads like wildfire.

I still think the RIAA are nazis, though. Protecting a copyright is one thing. Exploiting the legal system to leech money from the public is another. They're not even acting on behalf of most of the smaller artists.
