and shocking my comment about studies on pcworld editors seems to be correct since it was deleted. all deleting it did was confirm my pt that all pcworld editors shouldnt have a job since they go by studies and such over actual knowledge and the obvious. some already read my comment so when they look at it deleted, theyll know im right. keep deleting my posts it just justifies my pt even more. and deleting a post only keeps more from viewing it, it doesnt stop those who already read it from knowing.

No, it's a generalised attitude I've seen repeated over and over again. The now rightly defunct 'OiNK' was a case in point. The Pirate Bay, for example, doesn't even claim to be liberating anything. They don't even care if they propogate copyrighted material, in fact, they flaunt it. These Robin Hood claims are from people who don't actually produce anything but think they should have a complete right to other people's work for free. They don't. If they'd spent a year making a movie, or three months working on mastering one song, or four years writing a book someone comes along and transcribes to pdf for general consumption and made available on TPB, then to see their hard work and often their living go down the drain... well, it'll gut them like a fish.

I know of one person who spent two months and a fortune on producing white labels for record stations and clubs, sold the rest to local record shops and within no time it was available on a torrent., which came up on a search engine before his MySpace page in the results listing. And this is a guy working in a shop by day and giving up a large part of his life for what he calls rightly his art. Looking at it like this, it makes me extremely angry that people think they have any claim to someone else's work, and that someone has taken ownership of the distribution rights to his work.

People do it because they have no idea what kind of dedication it takes to work in the creative industry.
