Certainly not when you refuse to actually discuss the point put forward but instead choose to intentionally subvert and confuse the issue so as to make your point seem more valid.

It is more progressive to say "I can do this so therefore I have the right to do it"?
Seems to me that was the
logic that allowed slaverly to continue for so long.
Same logic that says might makes right.
If that is "progressive" then I'm all for trying to halt progress.

Out of touch? Tangents?
Who is the one who once again resorted to accusing others of arguing something they have repeatedly stated they are not? How's that for tangents?
As for plain facts, the only "facts" put forward is the suggestion that piracy can lead to future sales. I would say this "fact" is highly debatable and is reliant upon nothing other than what people claim to have done when they fill in surveys. Personal accounts behind an annonymous survey are highly unreliable.

On this topic, I too can not take what you say seriously. Anyone who argues creators should be made to give their work away for free simply because they can't stop others from getting the work for free is the one talking out of their ass in my opinion.
