simple economics: unlimited supply = free goods
it is on the net for download = unlimited supply = free. can't help it. it's free by it's nature, like air.
entertainment sector has to realize that and change it's business model rather then moan and advocate for artificial scarcity.

Exactly!!!
although i'd say its a combination of unlimited supply and unlimited distribution options.(through internet)
All this "you can do this with it but not that," making up new laws left and right, technical terms springing up for "private usage only" to sustain the business.

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.
Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.
