Since you have to register with them, I'll just quote the good parts for you.
Quote:"There's a huge difference in what people think copyright is and what the corporations think copyright is," said David Rocci, the founder of Isonews, a Web site that tracks the availability of movies and television shows on the Internet. "I'm not so sure it's morally wrong for someone to go to `Lord of the Rings' in the theater two or three times and then download it because they like it."
But for Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, there is no doubt.
"We're fighting our own terrorist war," said Mr. Valenti, whose lawyers sent 54,000 letters to Internet service providers last year requesting the removal of copyrighted material from customers' Web sites. The association also regularly refers cases to law enforcement officials and assisted the Customs Service in an antipiracy campaign that included raids on college campuses last month. "The great moat that protects us, and it is only temporary, is lack of broadband access," Mr. Valenti said.
So basically, if you ever downloaded a movie or TV show, you are a terrorist. hell, you might even work for Al Queda. You have declared Jihad on America by downloading the first season of "Jackass".
So, ante up and show us how big of a terrorist you are! What is on your HHD and DivX collection?
* Every episode of MST3K, either on CD-R or my HDD.
* Lord of the Rings
* Brotherhood of the wolf
* Fight Club
* Braveheart
* Jason X (the one that isnt released yet)
* 10 gigs of Anime
* About 300 gigs worth of Anime on CD-R
* Planet of the Apes (2001)
* Not another Teen Movie
* Full Metal Jacket
* Goodfellas
* And about 5 gigs of MP3's.
I am one damn good terrorist. How good are you folks?
I haven't bought a binary digit of software since I went to college in what, '97

Amazingly, in corporate America, if you go against their right to make money, you are automatically a terrorist, and must be against America. Fuckin hilarious.

Written on January 8, 1986
Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... damn kids. They're all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... damn underachiever. They're all alike.
I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me... Or thinks I'm a smart ass... Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.
And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...
You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.
This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
> I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

I'm just playing devils advocate here cause god knows i love Morpheus but your opinion would change greatly if you're the one creating this work.
When it becomes your work being shared freely without you having any control over it then it becomes a different issue entirely.
Just something to think about, now I need to get back to downloading movies for free.
I have very rarely paid for a piece of software and have about 8 gigs of videos and another 2-3 gigs of songs and software well over 50,000 dollars worth at least
