I totally get the hammering down on people making money from sharing files. That is fraud. But for ordinary users that just love music and films and couldnt possibly afford to buy it all I just find really sad. Also I dont want to pay for something that I may end up finding crap.

Heck, most users do buy an album/film out of appreciation if they really like it. Thats what I do. And people act as advertisement when they talk about 'Have you heard ________' and let people know about albums/films they probably wouldnt have ever stumbled across. Probing them to perhaps go buy it. Especially the non-IT capable people.

This policy will help everything mainstream, but boy will it affect those that are not.
