Always amazes me how people can justify piracy (99% of all peer to peer sharing is) just because a product is too expensive

A music company can charge £250 for a CD and expect you to sacrifice your first born child but that would not change the fact that anyone who pirates music is a criminal no different to a shop lifter or someone who breaks into your house and steals your video
