Ok first off, contempt breeds piracy. It's not just getting something free, it's having no desire for loyalty to the corporations who are in charge of everything. Whether you have real reasons for hating them, or just general copout reasons, many pirates don't feel the corps are their friend.
How do you feel towards the Linux revolution? How do you feel towards Microsoft? The Linux people have given their time, and will continue to give their time, just so you can have a free product. You can't help but love them.
How would you feel about Microsoft if they charged what they do now for Wind0ze, but it was ultra stable, fast, and the upgrade cycle was more forgiving. There was no spyware, no Palladium or product activation. Would you be so damn mad at them?
Now let's take RIAA. What if CDs cost $5, and the artists got a much larger piece of the cake then they do now, would you be so mad at RIAA?
CORPORATE HATRED BREEDS PIRACY!!!
Ok a follow up to the filesharing story.
The war continues

Confirmation that the APG is to continue its hard line comes after it issued invoices totalling 1m Danish Crowns (

Another like I want people to read:
The Problem with Music
I believe that this is not a war about the rights to the content, its about the means of distribution of the content.

That is an awesome article! So are my favorite mass market "loo-sahs" like Limp Bizkit and Eminem enslaved in such a system? Limp Bizkit I can see, but good ol' Em?

Bull shit. Corporate hate leads to not using products from said corporation. Lusers breed piracy.

Word. If Windows was a great product, then I'd use it. If CDs would cost less and the artists would actually get a substantial amount of money, then I'd feel better about buying the CDs.
I own every piece of software I use - even Windows (well, I got it with a few OEM computers and laptops), Dreamweaver and Photoshop (student discounts for the last two.)
I usually don't hate the company as much as I hate their product - and if I do, then I'm not going to use their product at all, no matter the quality or the price.
