I didn't say that people couldn't have "different, yet perfectly reasonable, points of view" regarding copyright (as opposed to religion), Apeist. I'm less concerned with the content of the views as the way they interact. Or don't, actually. Do you think that intrusions that pop up in so many threads here – the repetitive, ever unresolved, neither side ever convinces the other "exchanges" on copyright – are NOT "pointless arguments... that tend to get inflamed"? Is anything accomplished in them except another turn around the dance floor, and another thread polluted to uselessness?
I was never a buyer of pirated content, mr ploppy. (The image of buying CDs out of a person's trunk at a flea market or whatever just strikes me as dirty and unsafe.) I bought paperbacks (about 10% new, 90% used, switching from physical stores to online ones over time), but have never bought music or movies, pirated or non-. So I suppose I've never been a good source for producers to get money from.
