The Case For Piracy

[wraggster]

A mainstream media outlet has published an article called 'The Case for Piracy (http://www.abc.net.au/technology/articles/2011/10/20/3344351.htm). The writer shows how copyright has been hijacked by corporations and that publishers are their own worst enemies. 'One of the main reasons we all have anti-piracy slogans embedded in our brains is because the music industry chose to try and protect its existing market and revenue streams at all costs and marginalise and vilify those who didn't want to conform to the harsh new rules being set.' There's a lot in the article that Slashdot readers can relate to, and it's interesting that so many replies seem to agree with the author
