Yeah
Let's go back to the wax drums! That 'll teach 'em!

And ban all audio cassettes too!!! And those nasty VCRs.
Hey why not ditch the Interet too. That will solve M$ problems too in the meantime.

whose fault?
Hmm... all these early releases of albums on the P2P - shouldn't the record companies be more careful? I mean they spend millions hyping the new release and while appearently leaving copies laying around to walk out the door then cry about lost sales.
If I left my debit card on the counter at the store, I hardly think the solution to fraudulent charges would be to ban debit card readers.
