Brian, there will always be a fine line between what is and what is not legal. Big business, the music business included, continues to narrow that line and, as one might expect, the general public follows suit.

I'm of the opinion that copying is ALWAYS copying regardless how it is carried out. Still, public outcry led to making the copying of records and radio and TV broadcasts for personal use "legal" over the objections of copyright owners.

The public will also ultimately determine which side of the thin line P2P file sharing falls on.

After the successful "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" defense in OJ's criminal trial, you just never know how a jury of "peers" will decide.
