Isn't this the same industry that is complaining that piracy is putting them out of business?"

    actors and musicians are not the only wealthy people in the world, not everyone was born into money and some people DO/DID work to get where they are. I don't feel sorry for the person that is mining coal because they were too drunk to finish high school. If they can't make it drunk, stop drinking.
