A person sitting there with money in their hand ready to BUY something does not appreciate being called a thief, while they are in the act of doing the opposite.
Spindlegirl, you misunderstand. Its not about what you would do ( It never was) . Its about how most unsophisticated consumers would share files. See my post directly above.
