As did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle I believe.
My 8 year old nephew recieved an iPod Touch for Christmas. When he showed me the music his dad put on it, I was surprised to hear him say, a mate had already showed him how to download music and use iTunes to copy it over to his iPod...
This sort of thing reinforces the fact that our younger generations seem to place little value on copyright. But I was an active participant of the tape copy thing 30 years ago too, even if the means to distribute copied music was far more contained.
Mind you, music these days is pretty woeful.
Also, a great book was passed around my friends group when we were younger as well, depriving the author of payment and the publisher of several sales. That would amount to a form of copyright infringement as well I guess.
