I'll drink to that

I liked this:

"P-to-P (peer-to-peer) file-trading enthusiasts like to rant about the draconian steps taken by groups like the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to enforce laws protecting their intellectual property rights, by shutting down distribution systems like the original Napster. But can those enthusiasts be organized into an influential grassroots organizing force?

The founders of CopyNight hope that the answer is "yes," and that social gatherings can ferment political activism."

Another piratical business model built on the blood, sweat and tears of the entertainment industry.
