What I am saying is that they are within their legal rights to bring these cases and ultimately everyone copying content with no money going back to the artist is going to leave us with an artistically impoverished society.
Artists get pennies from that $0.99 itunes songs.

And that's why I think the system is outdated and needs an improvement.
Please read my previous note. This term "sharing" is biased in and of itself. The proper term is copyright violation. There is no such thing as illegal sharing just as there is no such thing as legal stealing.
I'll call it copyright violation here from now on if you like. But illegal sharing means illegal distribution. Legal distribution is through itunes, illegal is through torrent or file-sharing websites. How is it biased?
