Very good. I applaud your choice. But, kindly
remember, it is your choice.
You should have no right to decide what I do with my music or software. If you
share my music or software without my consent you are taking away my ability to
decide what to do with the fruits of my labors. For the puposes of this
discussion the fact that I do share my software and music under open licenses is
not really relevant.
Aye.

I have a collection of 1000+ cds, mostly bought
when I still had a job.
Nonetheless, I believe that sharing mp3 files on p2p networks shouldn't
be illegal.
I tend to think that sharing music over the internet is probably good for CD
sales but again, it's not our call to make. We didn't create the content and we
don't have the right to decide what can be done with it. I deplore what the RIAA
and the MPAA are doing but mostly because I think they're being amazingly stupid
about the whole thing.
