Geeze KennyC, I had a long post all typed out and you go and simplify it to "Tell them its wrong" Man I could learn to hate you articulate types :P
I tell people all the time that downloading a commercial copy of any file is stealing and I get blank looks. My wife is in the music industry and you would be surprised how often musicians working with her have copied music, and in some cases want to use id during performances, boggles the mind! These same musicians get very pissed if I tell them I'm going to record them and put it on YouTube, they can't see how both scenarios are exactly the same. Unfortunately like any Asian country (except for Japan?) piracy is the rune and not the exception. When I was living in Dubai they closed down the authorized Breitling shop in the Mall of the Emirates for selling fakes, I left soon after so I don't know what happened.
