Surely you're not implying people who copy files on occasion have uninteresting lives, worth more no more than a passing sneer? That would be a terribly absurd thing to imply.

Surely in this day and age, you can't actually have trouble with file types?

Surely you don't think everyone who copies files from one volume to another just sits around with baited breath waiting for the transfer to complete?

Of course not. Thanks for pointing it out! I'm just expressing my appreciation for great software and systems that make the process effortless. Like Pandora and Netflix.

And no I don't have trouble with file types. I just like to watch or listen immediately, without a lot of fussing around, and I'm happy to pay for it because good content is expensive to produce.

And of COURSE file sharers don't sit around idly, waiting for a copy to complete. They can read comic books while they wait. Or walk up to the kitchen from the basement bedroom in their parents' house for a FREE bite to eat.
