Site facilitated major copyright infringement


Here's a link to a news story of interest:

Several countries (including the US) took action last week to shutdown the file sharing site MegaUpload, and to arrest may of its key individuals. The allegation is that the site facilitated major copyright infringement.

What is the whole business of the sharing of copyrighted materials (music and video for example), the use of file sharing websites, and the tactics used by the various governments involved in last wee's action? You might also comment on SOPA and PIPA. I'm sure you can find other stories on the Internet on this topic. I have to say I come from the school of thought which says that we should not share copyrighted material --- that we need to honor the rights of the owner. I know many may not agree.

Please give your thoughts on this topic.
