RUBBISH! We've heard all these points before, and they've been proved crap.

If it was increasing income - then the artists, music labels and all those involved in the supply chain wouldn't be complaining would they??????????

And how can you compare VCR tapes to these files.. It is a LOSSLESS medium.. ie with video tapes, cassette tapes etc, quality is reduced with each copy.

ALSO, to enable each COPY it had to be physically passed, reducing the amount of 'COPIES' possible. There were no 'instantaneous electronic' means to COPY the files. (I still fail to see why everyone calls it sharing).

I'm sure you read all these points in some pro-copying forum such as this one and just decided to simply follow and believe them like a sheep.. perhaps a touch more research and logical thinking is in order??
