[Nicolas Sahlqvist]

Well, this is a simple argument that I just stumbled over:

"People want to share files. There is this much file sharing going on for a
reason. It's what people want. Fighting piracy is fighting human nature.
This is a battle no one can win. Getting your undies in a bunch at the
thought of someone copying your ebook is a waste of a good ulcer. Worry
about some problem that eventually will be solved. Like world hunger. Or
cancer. Or war. Those will be conquered before file sharing is.... "

It's so simple that I just like it, but feel free to see how he kills the
"It's stealing!" argument.. ;)
