Good for you, but I still find it much easier to make points this way. There is nothing pleasurable or sinister to it, it's just the way I conduct my business. The fact that you took it upon yourself to twist it in a slightly more ominous, manipulative light is your own crazy onus, but each to there own.


Really? It's my opinion that thought and inspiration should not necessarily come with a price tag. And again I might allude you to the fact that many of these artists would not have even been able to put said thought and said inspiration to disc if it were not for filesharing. And also, if I were an artist I would be delighted for all these additional people to receive my thoughts and inspiration, free of charge.

Of course there are the bad points, but that's part of the parcel of my argument. Merely illuminating the shades of grey that exist in the world of filesharing and pointing out the benefits.

Nah, you have a patronising and condescending tone to your arguments that isn't terribly agreeable to me, and the very fact that cutting and pasting takes time reinforces my argument that it's something that you take great delight in doing. And the thing that puzzles me is that you yourself have said there's not alot in my comments that merits scrutiny so why hew it asunder if only to satisfy something else within you?
