I'm glad she has no remorse over her actions. Rightfully so. Media companies associated with organizations like the MPAA/RIAA that have ruined lives both by civil lawsuits and criminal prosecution face an impossible battle. Perhaps they're just now realizing that their means are ineffective and trying to promote legal means to content acquisition, but the damage has been done. As someone who used to be a customer of many of these companies, I find it immoral to purchase anything from them if avoidable. They have essentially shot themselves (and the artists/producers they work with) in the foot and absolutely nothing they can do at this point will change my mind. While I doubt many people think about this when they're downloading movies/music, I have no doubt that for the people that consider this moral decision, the past actions of the MPAA/RIAA make it extremely easy to justify any and all piracy. It's just too bad that the hardworking artists are the ones caught in the crossfire. Then again, there is little pity there, as even in such services as Spotify, apparently artists are the ones who lose out. Perhaps artists/producers of content need to learn the lesson most of all about transitioning to new media distribution channels and finally leave the companies that do little to nothing for them in an Internet world.
