We knew all along, everybody should work for free except him! He probably is a soon to be unemployed soldier who can peddle bootleg DVDs at a street corner. Or maybe he can apply for a job at a publishing house?

Besides, I want to nominate "artificial scarcity" as the official nonword of the century. It is very similar to "Endloesung". Created by a ruthless mind to justify what can never be justified. Not the scarcity is artificial, the abundance is, since only the rights holder can legally make copies.
