Yeah I noticed that but even then, the stuff I wrote in the second paragraph of my rant I think still applies. If I have 2000+ files in my Shared Folder that I legally bought and copied onto my computer, and then share it, all I'm doing it letting them preview it and later they might buy the CD's. I mean it's like me buying a CD and then lending it to my friend to listen to for a bit and he can get his own copy if he likes it. Except... it's a couple thousand of my friends. :-P
Point is, no matter how you look at it, they don't know the intent of the user so I don't think it's ethical to sue if the reasons are innocent. Like the two girls who are being sued when they were using the files for some school project or whatever.
Besides.... Take away Kazaa and the like and then you have mIRC or even IM Software.
