Back to the slightly less off topic...
If you want to help musicians authors and the like I respectfully suggest you make the publishers your target. There's a reason the phrase Hollywood accounting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting exists. These are the people who hold musicians in indentured servitude, the ones who don't want to allow ebooks and if they do they want it so drm encumbered to be useless denying authors even the chance at more royalties.
You say you don't care if they go out of business but they're the ones who file civil cases against alleged copyright infringers and keep any judgments they may get. Those awards don't go to the author musician actors or directors. No one's telling you to share files but you're picking on people who are sticking it to the bad guys, whatever their personal motivations. |
Sorry, but IMO the guys who are pirating the files ARE the bad guys. I also know better than to believe the stuff you are selling about all publishers being the bad guys. There are some that are bad apples, but there are others that are honest business people.
I also disagree with the idea that some here espouse about all corporations being evil. The vast majority of corporations are legitimate businesses that follow the law and do things honestly and above board. Many of them also give large sums of money to charity.
