Usually, I would agree with your opinion that people in the entertainment industry need to have a safeguard against illegal piracy. They deserve to "get paid" for their work, just as anyone else. However, given the technical advances that have been made since the 1970's which enable people to re-record pre-recorded tapes, copy and re-burn CD's and DVD's, I fail to see the logic of restricting people from sharing their music over the Internet. This kind of activity will continue as long as there is entertainment to enjoy. The simple fact that the Internet has opened up the opportunities that existed long before, is irrelevant.
