I still did not understand this kind of often repeated argument, after years and years of reading it. Why _exactly_ should I freely, without any legal and consensual contract, limit my usage of any particular product X (be it a hammer, a car, a song, or a office spreadsheet) in any kind of way its manufacturer wishes after the point of sale?
This must be some kind of moral argument, please explain.
And why were record labels so anxious to stream for free over the airwaves they got themselves in trouble?
Well, unfortunately, your level of morality doesn't scale.
I don't know anyone within a degree or two of separation of myself who did not do that.
Including the previous generation (I was born in the early 80s, my parents in the 50s).
You've swallowed the *AA talking points, hook, line, sinker.
