Typical you can't stop freedom nonsense

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Like most proponents of 'freedom to steal' he obviously has no idea what the big bad companies can actually do to stop people from getting their free stuff.

There will probably be some sort of online distribution method but it's not because you can't stop people from stealing them online. The notion that these big bad companies will somehow get defeated by 'technology' is absurd. If anything is to fade away it'd be the products themselves not the person selling them.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Of course, but only by adapting or buying out companies in the know. Even AOL figures out how to adapt. They have already been backed into a corner by Netzero and forced to promote Netscape as an alternative, which is the corporate equivelant of chopping of one's leg to prevent gangrene.</div>

Obviously, new business models will emerge because it'd be a good idea, but that doesn't mean it's somehow right to steal

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You're likely to see some kind of sharing based on paying model eventually, like how there currently exists legal places where you can download MP3. But I've found just about everyone who talks about this embrace the new age thing only uses it to justify they're stealing, being the brave forerunners of future they are, no doubt.

It's especially absurd to say that the big companies are somehow going away because of the brave action of piraters because the thing that will go away first is the guys who are producing music or whatever that are now no longer getting money from what they made.</div>
