how else do you expect them to scare people away from illegally downloading music?

Off-topic: How did you get that avatar to load? I haven't been on Basil for a while so it might be that you changed your pic a while ago, but that looks like newer NX and I know there's an issue right now with editing players. Do you have any idea when that will be fixed?

Gotta love Canada. Downloading is legal, as long as you're not making money off of it.

Unfair, but it sets an example. DON'T DOWNLOAD ILLEGAL STUFF, KIDS.
