None on my end. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 14, 16:34
Of note: I do virtually no illegal downloading anymore, and the lawsuits and education campaigns are the direct cause. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 16:30 3
- The lawsuits had me a bit worried, but the ease of legal downloads really nudged me in the right direction. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:32 2
  - Amazon mp3 probably also had a lot to do with it, that's true. The competition and affordability of downloads was huge. - TFox Jul 14, 16:33 1
    - hopefully this comes to Canada soon -- nm - J Jul 14, 16:45
I think it would be next to none -- nm - stewie Jul 14, 16:27
Do they actually prevent it? or just make people visit other sites -- nm - J Jul 14, 16:27 2
- That's a fair question. I wonder what the levels of piracy are today compared to the Napster days. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:27 1
  - I can honestly say I pay for all my music now....movies and tv not so much -- nm - J Jul 14, 16:31
