Whats wrong with capitalists and filesharing?
 
Many arguments for filesharing, should fall flat for capitalists. Such as the cost beeing too high and the availability of it all. I mean, the socialists can hide in rather fuzzy nonsense. But it would sure be a remarkable contradiction if a capitalist did that. Ain't I'm right?

Well most Capitalists want to be paid for their work so I can see why they'd oppose file stealin,... er i mean sharing.

Well, if you're talking about the recording industry, they've systematically ripped off artists for decades.

For example, due to his religious beliefs, Bob Marley refused to get a will. His record company (I forget which one) used this to this **** over his family on royalties or something like that. They got into a legal fight, and finally the record company gave Marley's family $10,000,000.00. I'm sure his recordings and publishing rights or whatever was at stake are worth FAR more than that. Every time you BUY a Bob Marley CD, NONE of it goes to his family.

In a world of contracts and legalities, the Big Guys always write the rules and always win. Strange that Little Guys would defend them..

legal doesn't equal moral
