wrong. the vast majority do *not* do that.



there have been over 25 *billion* legal downloads from the itunes store

alone (and that was last year's numbers). there's also amazon and other

legal sources.



spotify, pandora, etc., are also growing rapidly with millions of

subscribers, all legally listening to music.



you're full of ****.

You're a clueless copyright nazi. Strictly speaking it's unlikely
there any internet users out there who are not regularly engaged
in the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of bitstrings.

In article ,
sobriquet says...

It's irrelevant how much value people ascribe to bitstrings.

It's irrelevant if you can duplicate data or information. Data or
information does have a value. For instance the knowledge which numbers
are going to win a lottery can be worth millions.

It doesn't change the fact that there is no way to prevent
such bitstrings from unauthorized reproduction and distribution
once multiple copies are out there.

Sure. But if you duplicate and distribute without proper authorisation
certain data, you might end up in jail, as happened to that British
fellow.
