Well said -- although I think that there is a "market" for this kind of diatribe. Obviously HN sent it up its list, so you know that Reddit loves it. There's a fringe element like myself that doesn't really care about free downloading but that also doesn't care for Big Content and the way that they have such a disproportionate influence on law enforcement, culture, and politics. At the least, it's good that some folks get a reminder that all the Chicken Little tactics of Big Content don't match up with their market performance. It's good because it's a reminder that when they see a Chris Dodd getting cosy with some politicians or bills... that's a bad thing and they should vote against it/them.
