Rent-a-cops and now they have "Music Warez Cops"

The answer is simple. Don't download music illegally. What could be more simple than that? As they say, you do the crime, you do the time. So, to keep from doing the time, or paying the piper, don't do the crime.

True.

However, they are using extreme search methods, which theoretically could be "cruel and unusual punishment."

Actually, it seems to be more than "CAUP" It seems to be unconstitutional. But seems is a very loose word.

They can't randomly search houses for drugs, why should they be able to randomly search PC's for music?

The industries tack on to the cost of CDs and video games because of piracy. That's right: the people who actually wind up buying the music and games are paying for the pirate copies, whether or not someone pirates them (in the case of a lot of new bands and many video games, who the hell would want to?).

Control the corrupt record producers, not the poor schmucks who want to listen to music they can't afford.

Actually, I knew this. Which is why I hardly ever buy anything new in the way of CD's and DVD's If I can get it previously viewed, and it's still as good as new, then why not? I'm paying significantly less for a slightly used copy then I am for a never been opened copy. I have no problem with used DVD's or CD's. It's not like clothing, where you don't really know where it's been. Most people take care of CD's and DVD's.

Just a thought.
