I am not for anyone commiting theft, so please don't get me wrong.  But
this brings up some interesting arguments.  Is someone putting a CD in a
publically accessable document root theft?  Or does it only become theft
when someone else out there on the Internet decides to download/view
it?  And then who is the theif, the person that owns and is exporting the
CD, or the person who does not own and is viewing?

In libraries most works are copywrited, yet they let people check and and
view the books without paying, how is this different?  I mean how are
libraries allowed to essentially buy books and then loan them to people
for free............once again, don't take this the wrong way, I own all
my study materials and I find them a great reference, I like new shiny
books with hardcovers :)), but this is a modern day we live in and it
brings up new arguments for the digital millenium, and I don't know all
the answers.
