"It's a choice between rights holders and the general public. The record industry is squeezing money out of consumers and avoids any change that could mean fewer profits. The general public is starting to resist them through mass disobedience."
Oh yeah, that's what it is, a civil disobedience campaign. Not just downloading stuff because they don't want to pay for it, oh no, of course not, its a moral calling.
Give me a break. If people really want to protest at the music industry's methods, stop CONSUMING music. If everyone did that for a week, no consumption of music, legal or pirated, didn't even listen to the radio, the music industry would forced to change its ways with no ambiguity and no arguing about whether piracy, cost or general shittiness of product is what's killing music. Of course this will never happen because file sharing has NOTHING to do with protest and everything to do with just wanting free shit. So yes, Freetard is as Freetard does. Proceed with downvotes ACs.
