>Hobbyist electronics people are strange. Popular moralism in a nutshell. "I can steal from big companies because they're evil! But if someone even samples one of my songs I'm lawyering up!" There's something almost psychopathic about how people just rationalize amorality because the entity they're attacking from is "big" or "different" Or "the other." I guess the mp3 wars are over with Google Music, Spotify, Apple Music, etc but for a long time it was creepy to hear these justifications from otherwise normal adults. It made you think, "What if they see me and my interests as 'the other'? What would they do without a conscience to stop them?"
