Sarge, every forum in the entire internet does this. The US Govt cant prosicute everyone considering how many people do it.
No can we please stop going off subject? This really isnt the thread to talk about this...

Foxe - You can discuss whatever you like in whatever thread you like.
You're also free to pull the ridiculous rationalization that
"everyone else does it so it's ok". That's nonsense.
The websites and individuals that own the rights don't do it.
And endorsing/encouraging young investigators that do it
is very, very wrong.
Comments like "just let 'em try and sue me" that were made
by one of the copyright violators as well as comments like
yours "they can't possible catch everyone" are the height
of irresponsibility.
They can't possibly catch all the drunk drivers or murders
either. But that hardly makes it acceptable practice.
Do the right thing in your reporting. Do good, verifiable,
honest research. Not just stealing someone else's
copyrighted material.
Do the wrong thing, and you have zero credibility.
Your turn -
