i agree. shlomi's actually trying to change something that's wrong with our legal/political system (like the protesters) and not just sitting at home crying about the fate of humanity. and i think the main point here is: the laws need to be changed to reflect reality - if so many people are doing it, then probably there's something wrong with the law, not with sooooo many ppl. and the only way companies can try to fight this phenomenon is by using technology (e.g. - encrypted music that can be decrypted using cheap special sound cards so that music could only be copied in an analogue way and then the quality sux), and not by trying to turn 1/5 of the population into criminals (which they probably already are due to other laws that ignore reality). and just like "the people who block our roads in the morning protesting" (i, being one of them), there are ppl who realize that even if the government wants things a certain way for this or that reason, it doesn't mean that it should be accepted. and since the long legal process is not exactly available to normal individuals who don't have endless amounts of time and patience on their hands, sometimes one must fight the law in other ways until it is corrected. p.s. - elad, try not to give political analogies in this list because u just end up pissing ppl off and causing flame wars. <warning: OFF TOPIC - political banter below - please don't reply, i won't change my political opinions> and in case u were wondering, the road blocking is not done in order to inconvenience citizens, it is done in order to cause the police/army to realize that they won't have enough forces to banish families from their homes because they'd need those forces to handle the civil revolt that would take place. *********************************************************************************** Information contained in this email message is intended only for use of the individual or entity named above.
