[QUOTE="Stone Angel, post: 1957950, member: 5630"] Well EW I am sure that you are going to open a whole can of worms and I am sure that you will be punished on here. I recently graduated college in 2002. I also had many media files that I had recieved for free through various file sharing networks. Trust me there just might be somebodies table that you took bread and milk off of. Myself included. Do you really think large artists such as Metallica and Aerosmith JayZ Linkin Park are horribly affected by this nope. It's the small ones just starting out. It's the independant music stores and head shops. I can't really judge too harshly I thought of it as a way to "stick it to the man" when I was filesharing. Untill I did a little research of my own. See I also write and perform my own songs. People at college loved it, I would play at bars, frats, parkinglots. where ever. After a while people started to ask for my CD's so I sat down at my computer made a five song disc. I gave them away and after a while sold them for five bucks a piece. I think the final amount sold was about 300. Not to bad not to bad. Then a friend of mine decided to put them on Bearshare. I was like WTF these aren't patented nor copyrighted. So I had to contact Bearshare, and have them contact every user that had downloaded it and get it off the "market" so to speak. Now this didn't put me out but imagine how I would feel if another artist "stole" those songs and went on to become big stars. So my friend I think that the biggest problem you have is not your "stealing" but your attitude that it's wrong affects no one and you don't care. Apathists; the worst. Now back to point has anyone ever seen anyone steal anything from a Con. At Gen Con I overheard two guys talking about stealing some DBZ trading cards off a booth. The worst part is that they worked for another RPG company. Though I will with hold their names, I seen them again this previous summer, I completely ignored them.
