Hey Questioner!
There was a good length of dialog on the topic of copyright laws and digital file pirating / sharing earlier this year in a thread I started called "Argh!" (here: http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=385)
Starting around post 5 or 6 we started chatting about the RIAA and copyrights, etc. Although we tried very hard to make our respective other-selves fully aware of each others' points of view, I'm not sure that any opinions actually changed- although perhaps more understanding came about.
After having discussed it in such a lengthy fashion already I'm a bit reluctant to enter in to the fray again, but I will mention that I think that your comment about not honoring the preferred method of appreciation requested (cash) from the one providing the service (originator of content) is perhaps the most relevant item to examine. Indeed, the obvious "problem" this situation creates is exactly the crux of where I draw my opinion.
