I'll wager that their business interests are directly inherent to their writing/music/film/art. The meme that artists somehow shouldn't expect to be paid for their work needs to be stopped. Many wouldn't have the ability to continue creating their product if they weren't being paid for the time and effort it takes to produce it.

- res0nat0r 13y agoMost comments here when it comes to piracy are along the lines of: Welllll it's easy for me to take your product for free thanks to fast bandwidth and the Internet, so you shouldn't expect to be paid for your work since I can easily obtain it now without consequence. That's nonsense.
