Well you're probably right, but I do try. I don't guess Napster is 
exactly legal or CD burning (which I don't use) for that matter. This 
doesn't however stop many from using them. The fact is in my 
Technology class last year the teacher was using a CD burner and I 
(in my most Hermione-like voice) said "Isn't that illegal?" and he 
said "Oh yeah but nobody'll know." 

I remember hearing on the radio the other morning that there was a 
new law pending in Britain which would charge an extra tax on CD 
burners and other electronic equipment. The money would then be 
passed on to the artists in an attempt to compensate for possible 
losses.

Looking at that I'm not sure how it ties into the arguement at all. 
I'll just put my faith in Penny and Heidi's advice...
