This is terrible, and robbing a lot of musicians what is legally theirs, I think maybe if some IT guru’s will come up with a way having CD’s which cannot be written, this will stop this, lets get a peogramme which will cut this chain of Piracy!!!!!

I think those ppl who are doing piracy do not have mercy despite the fact that musicians make a living out of CD’s intsead of supporting they are stealing from them,why cant get it they are destroying other ppl’s career. that’s being greed.
