PS - This is a US issue, for the most part, and it is caused by GREED of the record/movie/software companies, that refuse to innovate and decrease prices to more reasonable standards, all along trying to bully and scare the American consumers into stop downloading. Lower the prices and people will start buying more and downloading less. Keep you current 1 song = 1 dollar and downloading will continue.

Why should the rules of capitalism be different for music and movies than everything else? They charge as much as the market bears. Do you steal gas because it costs too much? They're just running business like everyone else, it's just easier to steal their product anonymously. Granted people follow laws in proportion to how much they respect them (i.e. speeding and underage drinking is much more rampant than murder and rape), but just because it's easy to steal songs doesn't make it any different than stealing anything else because it's priced higher than you think it should be.
