Not to mention all the CDs and movies available in libraries. What's the difference in borrowing CDs from a library and taking them home and taping or mp3ing them and getting them from the net?
There's no difference....both are illegal. It's just much easier to catch people who leave a trail by downloading files than people who legally check a disc out of a library and then illegally copy it in the privacy of their own home.
