    In any of these cases, what has he lost? Nothing. You weren't going to plop down $7 for his paperback anyhow.

    And now you don't have an incentive to ever plot down $7 because YOU ALREADY HAVE IT.

    I despite that argument because it's never any less illogical. It's dependent on a ton of maybes.

    It's really too bad that the Slash Mods classifiy as "troll" or "flamebait" anything that they don't agree with, even if it is a valid point. And the parent raises a valid point. When you code for "The Man", he owns your work. When you make music for "The Man", he owns your work, and thus can do with it what He pleases.

    How high and mighty of you.

    Your attitude is what is killing the record companies.

    Meanwhile, you drive 60 in a 55 zone, you rip the tags off mattresses, and you park in the "no parking zone" sometimes.

    But to you, a bunch of kids trading songs over the internet is the worst thing in the world.

    I repeat. You are a moron. You have no sense of perspective, and you have the kind of tunnel vision that would make a mole proud.

    I pray to jesus christ our lord and savior that you are sterile.
