I think the "Music should be free" people are just pissed cause they suck, or don't have the balls to try....shit, everyone on this list dreams of making cool software and making money too. Do you want me to steal your shit?
That's not an answer to any question I'm asking, though I think it is relevant to the overall issue of third parties attributing their own mistaken ideas to the developers of P2P networks, free software, and lightnet media.
Speaking as such a developer, I can tell you that you don't have the faintest idea of what I do. You are so far off that it's not worth explaining.
So now I'm ready to say something specific about the 'everything must be free' hook. It is never used to say "I think that everything must be free." It is only used to say "I don't think that music must costs nothing." People who feel the need to say this are recent arrivals or permanent strangers in the world of internet media. They don't know what the terms of the conversation are. Most often they won't go any further, so will never learn. A few will eventually gain the skills to understand that the idea "music must cost nothing" is gibberish.
