I couldn't agree more.

I've got a lot of iligaly downloaded music in my folder.

It's not illegal if the laws are unjust and immoral. Don't sit idly as our freedom's are taken away. Information wants to be free.

This is a major step forward for both sides, you see. For one, it ends the pointless fear mongering and hate. And secondly, it is a formal admission of the failed "DRM through litigation" strategy. Big win.

Lucky me last time i checked, Canada doesn't give 2 cents Canadian if you download music illegally or not. Yay for Canada. But i just get original works now, i don't like mainstream.

If you were a musician, you wouldn't be losing money over this no matter what. Musicians make a paltry amount of income from record sales. They make the VAST majority of their money from concerts.

The argument of "downloading songs hurts the musicians" is a lie told to you by the RIAA.

That's going to work really well, considering that Comcast got sanctioned by the Supreme Court for blocking access to P2P networks. I don't know how ISP's will be able to do it for the RIAA. If I steal music, I usually go for right-click-->save-as while streaming the song or recording the audio from a YouTube video or rip CD's from the library.
