To me the big issue is not if it's immoral to break the copyright laws or that someone can't make a living from what they do. It's not a human right to make money.

What I find interresting is that the music industry had a product they could control and due to new technology they can't anymore. So now they have to control the buyer instead of the product and that's where it gets scary. The suggestions for new laws has just been so undemocratic and orvellian it makes the moral/immoral part of downloading copyrighted material secondary. And the fact that the entertainment industry in US has so much money and power that they can buy a court victory makes me wonder how far we are willing to go to defend an industy's right to make money.
