And so it continues. What it comes down to is the erosion of the public sphere. The RIAA and the MPAA, and their Canadian and International counterparts fail to understand that ALL of the art that is being "threatened" by piracy has been built on prior artists work and isspired by those works.
THAT is the foundation of culture, the continued existence the of the public sphere and the ability of anyone, artists or not, to participate in that sphere.
The RIAA/MPAA madness has to stop, and it is the responsibility of every one of us to enter the public debate and use it as it was meant to be used - to express opinions and to effect change.
Peace,
Pierre
