  Re: I blame pirates while Techdirt blames creators. But then I'm reasonably moral, not a pirate who gains the unearned and whose thefts create the very problems that they then use to justify more piracy.

  Which just can't be created cause you're not allowed to circumvent copy protection schemes like those on BDs. You still pay the levy though.

  Re: Re: Re:

  I meant something like an addon for whatsapp. Now you can send pictures, why not send mp3/aac? Point is, WIFI and mesh networks can easily replace sneakernets and the **AA's can't do anything to stop it (not for lack of trying, of course).

  Brooks said that because no royalties are paid on the sale of used CDs, writers, labels, publishers and artists were being cheated.
  
  Cheated, my ass! THEY ALREADY HAVE BEEN PAID, you stupid, greedy f*ck!
