So, if you're fighting the government, you have an advantage in that it costs the state money to enforce a judgment. The weight of precedent means that the government has to enforce laws against everybody. If what you're doing is politically sensitive, then you could find the hammer of the law dropped on you fast, but if you're in a political blind spot, then you can get away without getting slapped for a long time. Fighting the music cartel, on the other hand, that's a completely different animal. They can afford to pay big teams of lawyers to slap you silly, and keep doing it for as long as they want. If they want you out of business, they're going to find a way. Picture all the people trying to make the world a better place as a bunch of ants. Fighting the government is like fighting a bear. The bear can crush a few of you but not all of you. Fighting the music industry is like fighting a hoard of dragonflies.
