To you there is a clear difference, but to the copyright owner, there is no difference. A P2P download and a physical CD sold for money are both unauthorized copies that represent lost potential sales.

is a pirate a loss of a sale, who said that he/she would have purchased the given item it in the first place, this is the rhetoric that the IFPI (riaa) use to calculate their data that has been found time and again to be grossly incorrect?
where as pirate rings are stealing sales by flogging their goods to customers wishing to purchase a copy, maybe if the media industry wanted to stop this happening lowering prices would be a start but nothing will come between their profit margins as making $1 is not enough when they can rip everyone off for £10.

sry i was referring to the USA branch the RIAA (riaa, mpaa, bpi, ifpi mipi, ect all the same companies behind the trade groups) with their blanket law suits, the rest of the world isn't as easy to push about as the US gov, because of all the lobbyists backhanders to congress members from big media.

It's not buying off congress that is the problem, it is buying off key members of congress that have been around for 20 years that then come up to the guys who haven't been there for that long and say, do this for me or your bill won't even be mentioned, let alone voted on. And it is good to see that the people who are trying to make money off of this are getting hit and not everyone else.
