That's fine, we can redefine theft. What the opposition is trying to point out is the consequences of redefining theft.
They extend far beyond "bringing down the man".
The software companies mentioned, did not switch to a service-based model because of piracy. Piracy has gone on for decades.
The software companies switched models because of open-source competition.
In this case, the digital content thieves are the pirates. The independent labels are the open-source competition.
Piracy created shitty DRM. Open source caused the industry to shift models.

have i stated my love for you recently?
it's amazing how quick that bob guy forgets how i unequivocally proved i was not a thief in multiple contexts, and how he continues to accuse me of being one and not any of the other people who've posted here about the same things i have, nor admitted his own thief morals were in fact thief morals, bob is pious and his god serves him and him only.
i guess every religion needs a devil,
almost like he's got something against me specifically, he never lashed out at browneyedbitch or nebraska for being thieves.. i think no matter what the topic of this thread was he would have lashed out at me for 15 pages without making a valid point once or staying on topic. at least he's passionate about his hate towards me, gotta respect passion.
anywho i was actually just dropping by to give out a link to the SXSW 2009 music torrent, all the music is creative commons licenced and completely legal to download in just about every region on the globe(thanks to the amazing creative commons legal staff and all their hard work to change the system over the years). it's about 6GB of music, and a lot of it's pretty good, mostly unknowns but there are some you might have heard of like aqualung. i downloaded it about a month ago and there were a few thousand seeders, dunno what it's health is at the moment though.
