File Swapping/Sharing should be legal. What's next, is the RIAA going to install microchips into our radios to find out who is recording music off of the radio onto cassette tapes??? It's ridiculous. If I buy someones CD and I want to send a friend a song to listen to, so they can buy it, who are you to tell me I can't do it. I think we have better things to worry about in the world than who is downloading a song. Ooooh. Shame on me!
