well, first off, I'm not saying I completely disagree with you here. But can we at least come to a consensus that music piracy is a complicated issue? Truthfully, I think the record labels just need to offer cheaper, DRM-free music.

In the mean time, be careful what you wish for. I guarantee you, you do not want to be a "martyr" for music piracy. Unless you have an insatiable desire to shell out a few thousand dollars to the RIAA. And while I agree that their tactics are ridiculous and treat their customers like criminals, they do it, so watch out.
