“It is dishonest for the defendant to act in a way which he knows ordinary people consider dishonest [..]”

I believe that the majority of any western civilization by now uses P2P.

That the majority may still feel dishonest about it is for the same reason people used to feel guilty about their sexuality: because forces bent on exploiting them for their obedience were out to have them manipulated so.

Witness our local trolls as prime examples.

So assuming just as much honesty will be brought forth about the fact that sharing is part of the human essence, just as sexuality is(what other is consensual sex but sharing each other without asking money in return), then the majority of “ordinary people” cannot feel it is dishonest.

Therefore, there is no case to be made against (file)sharing.

“But that’s not possible. Even if you totally discount price, a pirate still profits the value of the possession of the music. Value is different from price.
..
It’s all pure profit over what you had before from any angle.”

Basically RM is afraid that people might actually be exposed to culture and learning without being artificially restricted by how rich they or their family are.

See, it is his worst nightmare that one day people might actually be able to have access to information and knowledge REGARDLESS of their income and actually be able to even the odds of the eternally widening scissor between rich and poor.

What an inhuman thing, to wish to profit from knowledge and culture.
We are are all utter sc*m.
