I also love how the RIAA, the MPAA and the other one that no one cares about specifically target college campuses in their investigations so that the only way that cheap college students can watch these movies or listen to these songs is to buy them legally. I'm all for legally, especially if it means withholding art from the world. Obviously these artists who made these works of art would rather make some money rather than actually contribute to society. Besides you could hear any of these songs on the radio for free or catch some of these movies on television for free. Whoever thought of making people pay for something that they could get for free is a genius, just like that guy who invented bottled water.
On the other hand it would really stink to have worked really hard with my band on our new song only to have some kid download it for free in between games of World of Warcraft. I didn't give that punk permission to enjoy my beautiful music and I certainly didn't give him permission to use it in a Youtube video. So I am glad as an artist that the RIAA is looking out for me and trying to stop the illegal downloading of my hard work.
In the end, it is a good idea to protect people's rights and their ideas so that they get the credit and money that they deserve.
