Is Music Piracy Stealing?

I just wanted to add this funny picture here, of course it is not a serious evidence against the people who thinks online file sharing is stealing, but I think it is funny enough to deserve a place in my blog. I think nowadays laws are written to protect strong companies more than ordinary citizens. The reason behind this is obviously the politicians need powerful people behind them to be elected and eventually those people who had helped them, asks for a favour. As Charlie W. Moore noted in his article that there is a law proposal in United States and when it becomes a law even a single unconscious copyright infringement will take you to jail and that is showing music producers, the powerful people are trying every possible way to get “internet pirates” out of their way( I don’t think artist care about it that much because they earn good money from their concerts, advertisements and so..). Is it fair? Well It may be but when u looked at the other side of the picture this requires goverment to watch everything you do on the internet and that is simply a breaking someone’s personal privacy what should not be allowed in any circumstances in my opinion.
