I posted an actual writer’s response to file-sharing – the person who, at the end of the day, takes the largest hit when the results of their labor become freely and illegally available on the web five minutes after publication.
Again, I could find and post just as many counter articles contradicting the ones you’ve posted. Everyone has their agendas and biases – including those who support file sharing.
My guess, if your livelihood depended on the fruits of your labor, you might be a little more sympathetic to the plight of people who have chosen to make a career out creating art. They do not have a right to, nor are they entitled to success, but they do deserve a fair and honest playing field – one that does not include selfish narcissists who feel they are entitled to obtain what they want, when they want it, at no cost.
