Alright, I think I get it now. I just always assumed that it was really only piracy if you downloaded it from one of those warez sites. On a side note, I used to use Napster (when it worked), and I still pay for my CDs, I just download CDs that aren't available at my music store or aren't even manufactured anymore (like Pushmonkey's first CD, "Maize"). Of course, if I'm just looking for one song from a CD, I'll get that instead of buying the entire CD. And as far as you musicians out there, I don't blame you for being against Napster. I figure you'd like to make a decent living off of your music, and if they actually do make a working CD that is 100% Un-copiable, and still plays music (is that possible?), then you should go for it and use that type of CD to advance your music career. I for one am about freedom. When I start programming, I'll have people pay for a few of my programs, but most will be cheap or free. If they can't handle the minimal fee, they can download it from a warez site. I don't like warez sites because of all the porn that pops-up. But, I'm rambling now, so I think you get my point. I didn't think that I was committing a crime by getting a copy of my friend's Poser4 and I do pay for software about 98% of the time. ~JKS
