How can you say that how rich someone is has nothing to do with the debate? The whole point of copyright is to protect the right of authors and artists to profit so that arts and academics can develop in the country. Copyright legislation has NO purpose if it doesn't uphold both conditions.

If the media companies are not being hurt and are even thriving when there is rampant sharing, then there is no need for more legislation and enforcement. Benign neglect applies here.

Moreover, giving media companies far reaching powers "enforcement" powers hinders the development of academics and arts because consumers and authors are beholden to company policies. The RIAA should not have the power to decide if people can use mp3 players, or if people can preview music, or if people can share new bands with friends. These are things the consumers and the market should decide.

The new campaign against the "digital lifestyle" is nothing less than anti-competitive.

P.S. Stop with the "right is right" and "wrong is wrong" nonsense. "Right" meaning legal is a bunch of BS when the laws themselves are wrong and pushed by predatory, anticompetitive cartels.
