the internet was founded on the principles of easy, anonymous and hard-to-stop sharing of digital information and I wont stand for anyone disrespecting the hard work the early cyber pioneers put into it by advocacy of actually PAYING for movies and music.

it's cool paying $100/mo to watch CNN and recorded episodes of blues clues. that is a fair proposition and a business model that isn't going away soon.

i don't know who you're talking to with all this but it's not me, because i don't make those complaints. most of the media i consume is free content generated by people who are making it because they want to. once in a while, if the stars align and TV produces something good, i'll pirate it and be happy about it, but i certainly don't expect it to happen
