It's definitely gone to an exponentially higher level, but I don't think the industry will ever get away from private copying. And they shouldn't, in my opinion. Admittably I still download pirated music. But I also buy a lot of it too. I'm not just not willing to pay $18 for a crappy CD when I only want one or two songs. And I surely don't want to pay for a CD I've already owned in the past. I was just a young person when I could copy a tape from my friends, but I still remember doing it. A pirate since my early days. I agree with you. It’s definitely gone to an exponentially higher level, but I don’t think the industry will ever get away from private copying.
