| Torrenting and file sharing has to be the biggest grey area of the internet. It's never going to go away and the problem of it will never be solved. I think the reason it exists is because the prices we're expected to pay for Music and films and other type's of media is obvious extortion. The multi-billion dollar companies think it's totally fair to charge £20 for a film when that's more than most people earn in 3 hours. Same with a CD, the average CD over here is around £10, yet these company's are selling millions of these, surely they should realise that whilst they charge such stupidly high prices, people will torrent them.
I for one prefer to buy my music, but I've fallen into many situations where I've found i cannot get the music legally, because the company's that are involved with the distribution make it so damn hard to. iTunes is a good example, i have to pay by credit card, yet i can't legally have a credit card.
The music and film industries have caused this themselves.
