>If what you truly care about is FREEDOM and SHARING, why don't you support
artists who use free licenses instead? Why not send an email to the big stars
asking them to use freer licenses, and open standards for their works? Why
not try to make the world a better place instead of just disobyeing the laws
you don't like?
If you have the audacity to believe sending an email to a pop sensation is
going to change anything, then there's a fundamental misunderstanding on your
part.
Big name artists usually do not (and in most cases, unable to) control their
licensing schemes as it is the record/publishing company that gets to decide.
They have the balance of power, they get to decide who can and cannot use
their music for commercial or most disturbingly even for non-commercial
purposes.
You keep using a classic form of circular logic, GNUser - you assert that
piracy is bad because it is illegal (or that is equivalent to stealing), and
because it is illegal it means it's bad.
You didn't refute any of my points, which suggests that you either don't
understand what I'm saying (which is a failure on my part), or you're just
being obtuse.
Also, this:
>Have you ever thought that maybe it was the other way around, maybe the
people behind big piracy websites (making millions of dollars in ads) want
you to believe that "it's ok to copy a movie and distribute it"?
I'd like to see a source or citation backing this up, because it sounds like
bullshit to me.
