I was trying to bring the thread back to the original discussion.
There was what she believed to be a market failure that blocked her from accessing content that she would have paid to have access to. She used a file sharing site to access that content (a file sharing site that continues to operate because of variations in international laws). She wrote a blog entry complaining about the market failure and that the MPAA would have counted her access to that content as lost revenue rather then a market failure.
I'm not bothered that the file sharing site exists or what people use as justification for accessing it. In the global scope of world problems it's way down in my priority list. You feel differently. I get it.
