Good. 2 million. So what? It's illegal. Don't do it. It's pretty straight forward.
As for the "kids" downloading them because they would never buy that many, let's apply that to other things.
They probably wouldn't buy a few dozen new Cameros so why not go to the Camero dealer and just take them off the lot.
I see your point and we could come up with a lot of loosely connected situations but just because one thought process works for 1 situation doesn't mean it works for every situation.
If we wanted to we could take any sort of idea to it's irrational extreme and make a case against it but anyone can probably draw a line between downloading a CD and stealing a Camero. Hopefully you can.
And had they stolen Camero's, they'd likely face a less stiff penalty which makes the entire situation all the more ridiculous.
Not only that, but as I have said earlier......if piracy is what we have to deal with in order to have free and open information, I am cool with that.
Does stealing Cameros have a any sort of flip side like that? Nope.
