And the worst thing in all this is that the people, who actually create these products, usually get milked buy the publishing industry and get sh@t for their work. Same goes for everything. Take the farmers. They bust their asses and work from 4-5 in the morning till 10 and later in the evening. They spend so much money on keeping their production in a good shape. And then a f@cking monopolist comes and says “Although a kilogram of your tomatoes costs 3.00 EUR, I’ll buy it for 1.00 EUR. If you don’t agree, I’ll f@ck you, your family, your workers and even your animals up your a@s and make sure no one buys you sh@t!”. Sadly, it’s a common practice and the politicians don’t do anything to change things, because they want the cash, and the monopolists provide it for their protection.

So what do we give our children? An Internet heavily policed and censored and where every infringement lead to Internet termination or restriction? I think not.

File sharing for non-profit should be lawful. Freedom for our children. In my opinion this is not harmful for the copyright side when any sales loss is offset by sales gain from increased advertising and exposure. And yes they can still compete with free and NetFlix is one good example.

So why should the lawmakers fear something that is not harmful? The only thing it should do is to lead to better media when bad media would not fare as well under such a market. Putting out crap and expecting fair to good return has always been Hollywood’s problem.
