I think Nitro is talking about Karma or something.

Copyright Infringement != Theft. I can´t understand why anyone would compare it to shoplifting. It would only be the same if the shelf magically filled itself again with copies of the taken objects. This won´t happen until there are replicators like in Star Trek.

I agree with Indiglow. The old idea of selling copies of bytes will work less and less and people will have to think of new business models.
