i couldn't believe you sided with the girl and not Jason! Did you miss out on the point that making music is how that guy makes a living? And part of that making a living is from the sale of his music, in all it's forms? If he chose to give something away for free, that would be a different matter. But that wasn't the case here. She was really arrogant and showed an unbelievable sense of entitlement and the "perpetrator is victim" mentality. Dude, you think his argument is "almost reasonable"?!?!?! Who made that music? I also love how she sounds like this modern suburban American teenager with Internet access and she's studying theatre of all things, and yet cannot afford $4 to buy sheet music?! Probably needs it to buy a cool case for her iPhone, or buy the latest clothing fashion, etc. Here's the sound of the world's smallest violin playing a sad song just for her...

>and she's studying theatre of all things I hope she makes it huge and goes into films. I'll send her an email asking for a copy of each of her movies for free so I can post them on torrent.

Yes, I definitely came out with a better opinion of Eleanor. I don't see the arrogance or entitlement--- I see someone passionate about an art form that most of her cohort couldn't care less about. Legally, Mr. Brown is on solid ground, and Eleanor is at best treading water. I appreciate that he's contacting people directly rather than suing through a proxy. But despite this, I think he's shooting himself in the foot. Be cautious with your generalizations about 'modern suburban American teenagers' and her spending habits. Having spent my youth working minimum wage jobs, one of my largest regrets is not being able to afford buy more and better books. I was able to take advantage of public libraries and university libraries, which remain one of my favorite features of American society. But I'll forgive Eleanor a lot for trying to follow her passion.
