LOL. Americans are one of the most adept at civil disobedience. Tax
compliance, speed limits, etc.

You got that right!

Including the whole leftist queer ridden entertainment industry too.

We citizens subsidize those industries with tax shelters. The least we
should be able to do is share for no profit what we bought.

One of the lessons learned from the software industry is that the more
software you give away free, the more you would sell. The reasons are
so simple that it completely alludes the greedy leftist queer prick
lawyers for the netertainment industry.

When I was in grad school, IBM used to give major engineering
universities free computers - not last years junk but the latest and
greatest front line machines. They even furnished the technical help
to get them running and to maintain them - all for free.

That was literally millions of dollars of giveaways. Yet IBM dominated
the mainframe industry back then. The reasons are so simple that it
completely alludes the greedy leftist queer prick lawyers for the
netertainment industry.

When Napster was running, CD sales increased 15%. When the greedy
leftist queer prick lawyers ran it off, sales dropped substantially.

Here's what they are missing out. They could monitor sharing and
determine the popularity of various artists which could then be used
to make predictions about where to spend money in the future. But no,
the greedy leftist queer prick lawyers are more interested in
squeezing a few bucks out of non-existent buyers. Fucking Idiots.
