P2P

Why can the government tell me that I can use a program, but I cant use that program the way I want to use it? Its like particular parts of the United States government wants you to believe that you have freedom, as long as it doesn't take away money from the corporations that lobby to fund the campaigns of the congress-men in power.  A current fight dwells in copyright laws regarding movies and music. The recording industry holds a lot of power in congress. People of the United States can currently use P2P file sharing. P2P file sharing simply connects two computers or more on a server in order to share files and information.  People of the U.S. cannot use the P2P to exchange movies or music without permission of the original developer. (On a side note thinking of  how long it would take to get a hold of every artist of every file in possesion in order to ask permission would take a lifetime.) 
Dartmouth University places it in these categories.

1.Purpose and character of the use (why do you want to use it?).
2.Nature of the copyrighted work (what kind of work is it?).
3.Amount and substantially used (how much do you want to copy?).
4.Effect on the potential market for or value of the work (will your copying contribute to decreasing the value or demand for the work?).

We should be able to use the program as we please. Every artist I talk to just enjoys the fact that people listen to their music or watch their films. Their negotiations differ from case to case but for most big name labels the producer and record label get money from album sales, not the artist. The artist want people to go to the concerts, that's where they get paid.  We need to rise up and stand above all the rest and make our mark as the generation that voted each other into office and not money hungry congress representatives that only support big business. Lets vote for the people who represent the peasants. So for now I have to decide on whether to get satellite radio in my car or buy a smart phone and play free Internet radio through my auxiliary port.
