Default 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, 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
