Disagree on the stance of digital files. What you call "sharing" I call "theft".
This is a very simple concept, even a child could understand it. Let me help you deprogram your brainwashing:
Copying is not theft.
I'm so sorry. I realize this must be painful for you (unlearning lies always is), but there is really zero room for debate here. You're wrong. Accept it and move on.
Because the world will, and if you won't, you will be mercilessly left behind in the information age. Just like theists were in the scientific age. Yes, theists are still around today. And capitalists will still be around tomorrow.
But you'll be a laughing stock. Mocked and derided at every turn by enlightened, free-thinking people who will know that
intellectual slavery is as much an ethical abomination as the physical sort.
Have you prepared your mind for this outcome ?
This kind of begs a question. Do we own what we make? If you wrote a song would you have the right to ask for payment for someone else to downlad it? Or is intellectual property owned by society? To assume it is owned by society kind of makes the original author an intellectual slave does it not?
