I am NOT arguing that downloading copyrighted material is moral or legal, Harry. I am arguing that it is easier, cleaner and more effective to fight piracy at the source, NOT at the destination. That's all. Considering how widespread the practice is (we would not discuss it, if it wasn't), I believe that it is more important to figure out what works, not what is right.
