In all honesty, this just proves a point as far as I am concerned - steal and you will get what is coming to you. Hearing about malware bundled with the latest releases of stolen music or movies is really just another way of paying for a service that is breaking US law. Despite me not being a fan of the RIAA or the MPAA as they both do more harm than good, at the end of the day, filesharing will cost you at some level.
At the end of the day, how difficult is it truly to simply support music that does not use DRM (Amazon) or movies from a DVD which you can purchase and watch on any computer or DVD player.
Perhaps I am just old fashioned, but what is the need for pirating music and movies these days anyway? Seriously, even Hulu.com is providing a way to watch TV and movies over the Internet easily and cross platform. Are we seriously stuck in a piracy mindset even to this day? I find that really sad.

Let me tell you ‘old fashion’. 50 years ago we would share albums with one another on a very regular bases. never once did I have a RIAA person threatent me,And look how rock has propered. My pals would take the albums home ,record onto a open reel, and maybe bring it back. It never mattered because sooner or later you would get one of his. We called it sharing, what a concept that was. Long live the rolling Stones.
