Am I the only one who thinks these guys should go to jail?

If I worked in an industry where people regularily just stole the fruits of my labor, I would be outraged. Property ownership is a very, very important issue to me. I see no reason that intellectual property should be different.

*I have pirated more music, movies, and software than 99% of the general population and most likely more than the average nubblite. This isn't because I believe in it, just because I'm a cheap criminal. It's one thing to pirate something. It's another to believe that pirates should be free to exploit, and profit from, owners of intellectual property. And please don't remind me that OMG THEY DIDNT HOST ANY FILES.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
