Well I have to agree with the philosophy, and I agree that you have the right
to choose to break the law and pirate that ware -- but, what exactly is wrong
with duplicating *ANYTHING* that you legitimately own for personal use?

This is what I have a problem with -- there are certain organizations out there
that seem to believe that you do not have a right to duplicate videos, music,
software, etc for your own personal use.  I always thought that "If I own it,
then why can't i do whatever I want with it, so long as I don't permit others
to have it for free?" should be societies approach
