Sure. I just want to emphasize: laws alone won't do it. You need to motivate in a positive way in order to change the mindset of an average downloader. Otherwise you'll be just the guy who sanctions something that is cool. The average downloader thinks it's cool you can download movies & music for free. the average downloader is not just folks who don't have anything to do with IP: it's everybody!!! (except you guys of course . Just visited a studio: musicians hangin' in the launch room discussing what movies are cool to download...

but zorry to the folks who thing the metaphor was over the top; just heard it on a hiphop track where the artist used the quote on the intro (of course illegal; these guys don't even know what clearance is).
