Actually the discussion you started was about the
difference between Jammie Thomas's right to give away
our music with a file sharing program compared to your
allegations that, "TV broadcasters use tens of
thousands of tracks of commercial music that
generate millions in profits, (while) the writers and
publishers never get paid for those usages". 

I'm pretty good at staying on topic!!!

You painted Jammie Thomas as a victim when you said,
"Jammie Thomas for personal use enjoys 24 tunes
without paying the writer and publisher and gets hit
with a fine of $222,000."

You never acknowledged the fact that she was never
fined because she just "enjoys 24 tunes." In fact she
was warned many times not to give OUR music away on
her file sharing program. But, she refused! So, she
lost her day in court.

Damn, I wish we were on the same team!!!!!
