What's funny is that all this money is being spent on lawyers to sue college kids, and on computer programmers to come up with new (and useless) copy-protection schemes, when they should be using their resources to attempt to fix their business model. Their current method of operation is so bloated and ridiculous that they actually feel the need to sue children to make up for their own business inadequacies.
Is piracy wrong? Well, yes. Of course. But lawsuits like this are not the answer, and make for extremely bad
PR. Every time I buy a CD in one of the big retailers nowadays, I cringe because I know the band is getting hosed, and all the ******bag suits are taking most of my cash. Meanwhile the studio that it was recorded in is barely able to keep their doors open.
Fix your ****ing industry, and maybe people will respect your product a little more and start paying for it again. It's clear that suing 20 year olds didn't get the job done 5 years ago, and it's not going to do it now.
