Default Why is music p2p sharing illegal?

Someone, please tell me why this is illegal? I mean, other than because major corporations run the music industry and were making fortunes from it, then suddenly people could share music and they took a big hit. So they're trying to gain back control of the CD sale market abusing a wrong approach? (TECHNOLOGY CHANGES BOZOS) They're just too rich, and too stupid, and too corrupt to care.

If they want to make money, why don't they find ways to deliver mp3s more efficiently and with better quality than an OPEN SOURCE p2p network infested with all kinds of viruses? You know, when performing a service for a fee, shouldn't that service be something EASIER than what the general public can conceive themselves?

ARE THEY DUMB OR JUST PLAIN STUPID?
Where do I go if I want to buy/get *ANY* song in the world? There isn't even a ****** place better than limewire on the internet. So even if I *HAD* a billion trillion gazillion dollars to spend on overpriced plastic cases, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL. I bet Bill Gates uses p2p. (j/k)

Would sharing music with a friend over MSN be illegal in the constraints of the law? What if you start singing some lyrics, and they say "Hey, what are you singing?" and you say, "Oh this song, from so and so.", then point them in the direction of a website where they can reveal their credit card to the internet and ORDER one of these CDS (which are totally useless to me. I hate cds, too few songs, too much plastic) through the mail. SO they have to wait a week to get it, then they finally do, and by then they don't really care what the lyrics are.

And what about sites like Xanga.com, and users there that have mp3s up? They're just trying to add to the ambience of their website. THEY ARE NOT MAKING A PROFIT. But 'HACKERS' (lol), could read through the code and download the mp3 directly. Oops, They're publically sharing a song! They're thieves! GUARDS! CUT OFF THEIR HANDS!

Let's get serious here. Don't we have better things to do with our time?
The honorable public, above all else, needs to decide how their country is run. That is, in essence, what a democracy is.

Do we want another prohibition?
Do we want wars?
If you restrict the people, they only rise up against each other, and then nothing is made except destruction.
