> Torrenting is an answer to bad service. I want to look up a movie I want to watch, choose between different quality/file size options depending on my bandwidth/hard drive space needs, download an MP4 with decent speeds, watch it, then store it to watch again if I feel like it. Totally agree. I own over 1000 CDs, but rather than ripping each one to my hard drive, it's much easier to download them illegally via P2P networks and torrents. I download music illegally for other purposes too, but I've also spent a much greater portion of my income on music than most. Downloading has likely stimulated my appreciation for music.
