I'm not troubled by stores prosecuting shoplifters, even though they could be "customers." I don't see a significant difference between that and pursuing purveyors of "free" music.
Or were you looking for a good argument to justify your collection of 4000 mp3s that you downloaded for free?

Geez, next time I'll add a smiley-face so you (and Paigow) understand that I'm responding to a joke with a joke.
I agree with your shoplifter comparison. I guess I'm just at a loss to understand why people seem to find it so shocking that the RIAA might want to enforce the rights of music copyright holders -- even to the point of suing consumers, as a last resort. I s'pose a board of lawyers is not the best place to gain an understanding of what the people complaining about this are thinking.
