I’m on Hollywood’s side with this: even if it’s a Michael Moore crock-umentary that is being swiped.

One can certainly make an argument in favor of property rights.What really fries my cookies is that...in the case of record companies,at least....they seek hundreds or even thousands of dollars in damages for each "illegally" downloaded song.I can see damages like that for a case where the downloader is making a profit but not when it's just for his/her personal use.Shoplifting a particular CD/DVD would get you a month probation and 10 hours of community service.The severity of the penalties are grossly unequal and therefore,IMO,unfair.

I also find it ironic that these people are “share the wealth” liberals until someone shares *their* music or movie.

I would agree with that.
