I don't think that any legal issue is going to change the way that the majority either here in Europe or anywhere in the World is going to think about file sharing.

There is still the thought that huge corporations are making vast sums of money from the downtrodden underclass whether it be Microshaft with the overpriced XP Pro system upgrade (now available from SIXX for $3.50 p&p) or any record label pumping out shovelware at £13.50 per CD.

I think people have gone through the initial "Oh, I can get anything I want off the Internet - so I'll download any old trash that's going" to a much more selective search; instead of downloading anything and everything they now download just what they want.

What the article doesn't say is whether what is available has decreased: I don't think that it has, rather the opposite.
