They are like hawks; they strike to kill, before anyone can touch their nice little nest egg. I can understand that they want to make sure that people don't steal their rightful property, but suing for hundreds of thousands of dollars does not seem like a good solution. A girl downloads some Disney music and suddenly she is a criminal! Instead of attacking their market base, couldn't companies just help teach children that this shouldn't be done? That would solve at least some of the problems.
On the flip side companies do have every right to fight to keep their property and the money that comes from that! People who illegally download and distribute (and not like with a mixed CD, but as in burning many copies of the same CD and giving them away) music, games and movies, should have federal action taken against them, and they will probably always loss, but it shouldn't be such crazy amounts; amounts like these can drastically ruin a persons life.
Everything has two sides, the world is a coin and we must always understand that, though we might not see the other side, it is there and life can turn to favor it. Use common sense and don't do something that you know is wrong and stupid, unless you want to ruin your life by being sued for everything you own. On this issue I can't say if I am for one side over the other, I think I will have to be Switzerland, and be somewhere in the middle, neutral territory.
