That 90 % of what is being shared is done so without permission and therefore illegally

The 90% figure is conjecture. As for sharing without permission: It was legally sold and bought. Refine the business model or cope.

What right do you have to harass the citizens of my nation with goons and lawsuits because you're a moron at running your business? Figure it out before the point of sale and quit whining about it afterwards.

You made a product and you sold it. The fact that your product is easily replicated puts you in the same boat as a good portion of the rest of the population.

It's also quite easy to kill someone. Does that in your opinion make it right? If I want to have sex with your girlfriend or wife (Though on Slashdot this is VERY hypothetical) and I need to do you away, does owning a gun somehow make it ok? In your own words: Life's not easy. Cope.

At my last employer I was required (extorted) to sell my patent rights to the company for $1 or risk termination of employment.

So why didn't you sue them? Are you stupid or what? (Ok, after reading your trol^H^H^H^Hidiocy it's quite obvious, but it's still a fun question.)

What do you mean by "professional"?

Same as everyone else. A person who does music for livelihood (or gain).
