Of course it's a personal choice. Just as it's my a personal choice to sue
your ass for stealing _my_ music.
If we as artists are going to be held back by the
rules that the
industry has created to monetize art then we might as well go and jump
off a tall building now.
Yeah - just like the industry created rules to prevent people from
tresspassing on private property - those fascists! Hey, I like where you've
built your house, and I'm going to build a garage on your front lawn -
industry be damned!
If I was the owner of a piece of work that was ripped
off and also made
a lot of money I would be calling my lawyers to get my fair share. In
that case I would be fairly happy that someone else had made more money
for me without much further effort on my behalf and I'm sure my lawyer
would be happy too.
And now we hear the truth. I can steal from you, but don't you steal from me?
I'll chase you down. Come on...
