An interesting commentary was drawn to my attention today, whilsts its rather long and labouring of its key points it does make for some good rhetoric.
http://www.forum-global.de/jm/art06-07/in_defense_of_legitimate_piracy.htmlSome friends from the industry have made efficient use of the press to blame and criminalize the children, youth and adults who share files through the Internet, doling out the same treatment that they give to those who engage in illegal commerce. Both groups have received the title of “pirates”. From our point of view, however, sharing is one thing, and commercializing is quite another.
Grab yourself something to drink before reading folks as its a long read.
