So let me get this right.

You tried to copy 3500 songs from your friends hard drive.

Let's be generous and say 10 songs per album - that's 350 CDs worth...or about $4200 worth.

And we wonder why the music industry is doing everything it can to outlaw mp3s and any technology that could be used to create, store, play and transfer them.

Thanks for doing us all a favor. You're taking the piss.
