Innocent until proven guilty - outdated idea?

I can understand the reasoning behind this, but it penalizes those that never have stolen a music track. Why should I have to pay extra for someone elses illegal activity? There has to be a better way to deal with illegal downloads than penalize everyone.

I guess innocent until proven guilty should be changed to 'everyone is equally guilty and responsible'. Perhaps we all should spend 1 year in jail because someone out there is sure to commit murder this year, or pay $1,000 extra in taxes because someone will cheat the IRS.

You all do realize that the price of everything in a brick and mortar company has been marked up to cover the cost of theft right? Prices have been raised to cover the loss of income related to shoplifting for decades. You are already paying for other peoples thefts, and always will be.

So, do you think that the price of CD's will go down if they implement this "Tax"? If you do, you're sadly mistaken I'm sorry to say. The RIAA will take this money and add it to what they get now from legal downloads and CD sales, as an ADDED INCOME.
