When it comes to ripping off consumers no industry in the history of the world has been worse than the tech industry. Of course they want to use copyrighted material to further their profits.
Exactly how in heck is file sharing "competition?" They did not pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars it took to create a music product or the millions it took to make a movie. When the tech industry actually starts creating something, then they get to sell it. Strange how thus far not one tech company has given anything back to industries whose products they want to sell. They do not invest in bands or movies. The problem right now is their arrogance just as much as the unwillingness of the industries themselves to change.

Be thankful for the crumbs. If you are a musician they run ads on your videos and don't pay you at all.

Nothing like a non musician techie who is completely ignorant about music and copyright law to give advice to musicians.
