Companies often already provide the file’s content for free on the public airwaves. But it’s not free. It’s paid for by advertising. Books and videos can be borrowed from the public libraries.

Make something illegal and you can’t control it and you sure as h**l can’t make any money off of it. Henry Ford found that out when he advocated prohibition of alcohol in the US. His taxes were up due to lost alcohol tax revenue and eventually he changed his tune.

Files should be distributed by the companies that are paid for by area and personal preference dependent advertising. They should be inserted before they can be used by a company that targets the audience. The companies producing the products get a revenue from the files legally distributed and everyone benefits. It’s either that or keep it illegal and people will find ways to get around the technical and legal road blocks.

To anyone who pays for the work of others, that they enjoy. Good for you.

If you guys want to create good music for everyone to freely distribute, go for it, but you don’t have the right to make that decision for other people.

In criminal law, theft (also known as stealing or filching) is the illegal taking of another person’s property without that person’s freely-given consent.

Someone who carries out an act of or makes a career of theft is known as a thief.

A criminal who takes property belonging to someone else with the intention of keeping it or selling it.

You do not have the right to decide what someone’s selling should cost. That is their right, if you don’t like it. Don’t buy it.

“the minister who is a member of the SOCIALIST Left Party…”
————————-

BIG SURPRISE he wants everyone’s hard work to be free.

“It’s not about wanting to take things for free.”
————————-

that’s exactly what it’s about. anyone that tells you different is a hormonal teenager going through the usual and tedious stages of “fight the man!” rebellion. eventually they’ll grow up, get jobs and realize that consuming without compensation is not fair, and distributing something you don’t own is not sharing.

Whoa, first off, this is clearly not about politicians, nor some of you seeing this as something bad, conspiracism. This is about the way media companies are forcing people to comply to its requirements, which is NOT working.
