But it's NOT a matter of choice, Clinton. Unscrupulous people upload other people's work (be it music, literaure, video, whatever) and all of a sudden the authors or creators are losing the ability to make a living off their work because any numbnuts with a computer can download it for free...

In principle or theory, sharing online is a nice idea. But apparently people will always steal when it means not paying for something they want; especially if there is no chance they'll get caught doing it.

If you really don't grasp what is wrong about this then there is nothing more to say.
