I'll say [img]smile.gif[/img] Chicane is my favourite group these days.
I do think the teens deserve some form of punishment, but in all honesty, I wouldn't wish anybody on earth a fine of that amount.
I personally don't download mp3s. I know several people, including my own brother in law, who are trying as hard as they possibly can to earn a record deal. I feel that if someone were to record their songs and plaster them all over the internet, they'd really be kicking these hard-working artists into the ground by dashing their hopes of making it big. Nobody deserves to have their work stolen - it's like running out of the Louvre with the Mona Lisa under your arm - you just don't do it.
I actually feel good when I go out and buy some vinyl or CDs - I know that whoever put the effort into creating these records is actually getting what they deserve. I don't begrudge them a measly few dollars. I love music. It's worth every cent.
