Not wrong, just illegal

| From a practical point of view, trying to
| regulate the distribution of these materials
| over the Internet is an unachievable goal. No
| matter what laws are put in place,
| technological advances by ingenious young
| computer geeks mean that youth will always be
| one step ahead of the authorities. The
| industry may successfully prosecute and punish
| a few people but their success will be short
| lived. Almost no one will be deterred by legal
| prosecutions because the chances of being
| caught are minimal.

The Creative Class War
,----[ Quote ]
| Awhile back an author and thinker named
| Richard Florida wrote articles and penned a
| book about the ârise of the creative class,â a
| demographic of young urban professionals who
| would be ferociously attractive to dying
| cities that have lost their
| industrial/manufacturing base, and what these
| cities would have to do in order to attract
| them. While thereâs been some impressive
| debate about whether or not Floridaâs thesis
| has proven true, and what cities are really
| benefiting from this push, one thing thatâs
| clear to me is that the âcreative classâ â
| journalists, writers, programmers, Web
| designers, graphic artists, traditional
| artists, musicians, and so on â need all the
| help they can get.

Are People Resentful Of Content Creators?
,----[ Quote ]
| Coming at the same question from the other
| direction, again, I have trouble seeing
| "resentment" as the issue at all. When we look
| at the success stories, the one thing that
| comes through loud and clear is that
| respecting fans results in those fans becoming
| incredibly loyal. They're loyal to a fault, in
| fact. There's no resentment there at all. If
| anything, at times, it seems to border on hero
| worship.

Mariah Carey: The gloves are off
,----[ Quote ]
| The singer drops the sugar-coated simpering
| and shoots from the lip about the music
| industry and her new business model to save
| it â which could make her the worldâs
| richest recording artist
