I agree they should have testers like myspace etc and yes of course most people dowload the odd occasional track but heavy offenders should of course be pursecuted. I mean wake up and look at the facts. It's illegal therefore you don't have the right to do it anyway, you wouldn't steal a CD from a shop would you, yes it is the same thing! Secondly the artists deserve to be paid for their works. If you examine the facts and cultural trends also if people are forced to buy CDs they therefore will be most likely obtaining less music per anum thus they will have to make more careful selections of what music they chose to listen to consequently this will lead to a reaction from the artists and the industry whereby the quality of the music will have to be great in order for people to buy it.
