Den hotbild som målas upp av de branschintressen som vill behålla makten över distribution och produktion är i vilket fall som helst överdriven. Ytterligare ett bevis för detta är Douglas C Merrills (fd Google CIO och chef för EMI:s digitala affärsområde) keynote-tal på CA World Expo i Sydney härom dagen. Han berättade där att han, när han under sin tid på EMI undersökte Limewire-användares beteende, upptäckte att ”fildelartjuvarna” också fanns bland de användare som köpte mest på iTunes.

When you’re brought up isn’t that one of the most valuable lessons you are taught? People that can afford to buy the nice fancy copy with perfect quality do! Who wants a bunch of shitty looking blank cds and dvds with hand written titles and no track lists or lyrics or band info! The people downloading files are the ones that can’t afford to buy the stuff! Those people are just as valuable as the ones buying the mint copy for 20 bucks! They tell all their friends and family how good or great this band or that movie is and the ones that can afford it go out and buy it! Those that can’t download it and spread the word to their friends and family and the same thing takes place! Leave people alone and focus on making good quality entertainment like you greedy bastards once did! I am pretty poor right now, I can barely afford this internet connection I am using right now! All you idiots are doing is making everyone hate you and the stuff you produce! Think outside the box! Ever hear that before?
