'Fans who share music aren't thieves'
Important musicians such as Barenaked Ladies and Avril Lavigne have formed the Canadian Music Creators Coalition to among other things, support fans being sued by the Big Four Organized Music cartel.

I'm all for sharing, but we need some better arguments. I'm pretty sure child pornography has been happening for decades.

After you learned logic you sure do like to get off on finding suppposed flaws, even at the expense of your own intelligence. (ad hominem)
The unstated point here was not that it's okay because it's been happening for decades but that it is ultimately an intimate and beneficial part of the music industry. Which it has been proven to be.
Don't worry Chris, I was only making fun of that part of the argument (I had read more on their argument). It just struck me when i first read that tidbit of it, and I couldn't resist;)
