Let's be fair about things here. Yes, there's a problem with people who
believe that just because the internet makes it easy, they're entitled to
whatever they want without paying. But you also have to take into account
the almost psychopathic pursuit of every conceivable penny in the name of
copyright by various record labels, trade associations, and collections
societies.
So are you arguing that two wrongs makes a right, David? Sorry, but
that does not compute. That's what courts are for, or simple public
ridicule, as happened when ASCAP tried to dun the Boy and Girl Scouts
for music sung around their campfires. You did mention the case, and
if I recall ASCAP had to back off with egg on their face.
