Fascinating to see where they come from, even if I totally disagree with it. Then it's balanced out a lot by this 'response' video:

We're all ****ed anyway. You can try making a difference but the masses are just too easy to manipulate and control, so they'll keep on doing it.

edit - that didn't work very well.

You think if they all started putting it on the net themselves for people to buy, that would make a difference? It's been done and the get it free continues.
I can't see why an author, artist, musician or who-ever would want to bother if they can't make a living from it.
