It is too damn easy

It is too damn easy to download software, movies, games, media, anything digital via high speed internet onto my personal computer. Tonight I wanted Sony Vegas 8.0 and ACID Pro 6.0 so I downloaded them in about 30 minutes total.

Gift or curse?

Gift to the people, curse to the RIAA.

Enjoy

RIAA only cares if you download music. Sony Vegas and Acid Pro are software.

This is a hot button for me as most here know and I would quote you chapter and verse on why it is still stealing and hurts the musician or software developer. But I've got a product to get out the door (which Spectacle would undoubtedly steal if he were smart enough to need a stats program).

I just download albums to see if I like them, and then I go out and buy it, as I like to support bands that I like.

BTW, I think you mean it is too damned easy...

Last time I checked, music fell under the "media" category. I mentioned the RIAA because they make the most noise about filesharing.
