I sign online petitions. If enough people do that then our elected officials will see our concern. It'd be easier if we all had enough money to buy the outcome we want but that's not gonna happen. We can only try and hope there's enough integrity left in the system to make a difference. And we need to remind the elected officials that elections do matter!

i think that the money that is lost to the artist is to much because fo this software but at the same point the cost of the art to tomuch because of the people making it into a buniess the artist get about a dollar a cd and there 15 to 20 bucks a piece hows that for mark up so i think that it is good to not be able to pirate music but i think it also cost to much it the same thing with movies right now there not making expecience movies as often because of the pirating it a tuff thing and i wish that there would be a middle ground where the industry would be ok and the consumer would still get the high quilty intense feeeling from it
