I have been watching the SOPA/PIPA drama unfold, so thought I would share something that perhaps not everyone of you may know of.
It took me three years to realize that google offers a free legal way to download music for people located in China (since 2009): www.google.cn/music/
It is backed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI Group, Universal Music and the Warner Music Group. So much for the RIAA suing families and kids in the western world for illegally sharing music for free when they give it out legally and for free - at the same time - to China. Hope Google will do the same with the MPAA for TV shows and movies.
Let's just say I've been downloading like a mad man lately - legally for free :)
