It sounds more angry than sobering.

The thing is, both sides of the piracy debacle have grandiose senses of self-entitlement. Just as it is wrong to take something without compensating it's author, it is wrong for the author to demand overarching control over how their creation is used.

Three examples:

• This whole one copy one reader mentality. Copyright is about giving authors control over supply, rather than giving them control over how it is used.
• DRM claims to be about copy protection, yet it is also used to control how people access content. This ranges from region locks to vendor lock-in.
• Slow response to changing market demands. Ever notice how pirates adapt to technology better than businesses do? Illegal downloads seem to predate legal downloads in virtually every market.

I'm not going to defend pirates because most of it is self-entitlement or greed, but I cringe when copyright lobbyists claim the moral high-ground.
