So now you all are just getting the pay back because you have cheated the system for so long.

Yes, the system they are proposing has so many flaws but what else are they supposed to do? The industry is getting screwed by these issues.

Now, if you are not one of the whiny smelly cheating stealing downloader people my post is not about you.
So you've never dubbed a cassette, borrowed a book from a friend, photocopied something at the library, taped something from the radio, recorded a show on your VCR without deleting it 48 hours after, played music in public without paying ASCAP/BMI royalties?

Pretty impressive if you've never committed any of these copyright violations.

The industry is not getting screwed, the public, artists and content creators are.
