friend, I deeply disagree with your conclusion and your reasoning. The current situation is in need of guidance and new rules certainly. However the strident "don't do this to us" approach is wrong-headed from my own experiences and knowledge. There are a dozen major economic systems across the globe with billions of people involved, and those system do not agree with each other on this topic. There is no single answer for all people, all markets and at all times. In the USA and Western Europe, copyright is a foundation of individual authors and also companies, and builds an economic system of exchange that has worked in many cases, and for long periods of time. Abuses by powerful entities are not the reason to throw the entire system out, with insults and broad generalizations IMO.
