The trend towards suing individuals for using P2P networks for infringing copyright seems to have reached Israel. The journalist has apparently found someone, "A.", who claims to have about 25000 illegal files on his machine, who is scared he might be sued. Copying the files to CD/DVD and deleting them off his computer hard disk is not going to provide him with any defense if he gets caught.
"Don't you ever feel that you are stealing the songs you download?
A.: "To tell you the truth, no. About 80 percent of what I download is independent music by artists who are signed with labels that are not well known, and I tend to think and want to believe that the artists who create this music are interested in having as many people as possible listen to their work. I don't listen to Madonna or M People and things like that." "
