I agree with the majority of this post. It would benefit everyone involved if those who produce content would get up to speed with technology. However! > This is where the producers are making the wrong. They believe they have the every sole right to put their consumers to agony. They are not putting us through agony by producing content and then fumbling the delivery. They have no obligation to us to produce the content we want in the way we want to consume it: At worst they are not affecting us at all. We can simply not consume the content. If you consume content in a way that agonizes you, that is your own decision. > And by the way these two subjects are really not related. Presumably you mean SOPA and btjunkie are not related? This discussion thread is stemming from the claim that they are related. I assumed that was where you were coming from.

I'm sorry about saying these subjects are not related. I was wrong. But consumers are why these producers are in business. They must fulfil their needs and desires to stay in business. But you are right about not consuming. But this would be possible if there are alternatives. But there is a war on alternatives because they can not be legal, or they are pushed to their limits where they can not compete with the mainstream players. By the way, by saying producers, most of the time I mean, distributors or production companies. Not actors or musicians.

  By the way, by saying producers, most of the time I mean, distributors or production companies. Not actors or musicians. A lot of the times, and for a lot of popular content, the production company IS the producer/artist and not the actor or director. I.e the whole "vision" of the thing is not artistic in any way, just a scheme by some marketing guys in a production company to make some dough. Like almost all blockbuster movies, lots of top-10 billboard artists, teen idols, etc. Those aren't much "created" as they are "produced", usually by committee.
