In such cases, wudnt an artist's expectation from his audience be different? Aren't the open source alternatives good enough? Another argument is how artists themselves promote piracy on the web to get popular and make money through live gigs and donations. IMHO bands cant pull this off very well unless they have a great offline presence and PR. There are various business models (considering the online dynamics) being discussed in the blogospere which will help artists monetize their creativity, but none that has come out as the single magic solution. Will post my ideas on that soon. Arul – Well thats a good point. In such cases, wudnt an artist’s expectation from his audience be different? Aren’t the open source alternatives good enough?

To quite an extent content producers owe their popularity to the online dynamics. It hurts after a point though. As you said morality on the web is not considered a virtue and neither is education driving that. As I said may be having this as a part of education not in just law schools, but in schools at an impressionable age may help. Very true Goli.

I dont think morality has got anything to do with education, else we would not have so many IT professionals giving forged bills to save taxes. I think when people go on web, it is with the understanding that they are going to get copied, and I dont think you can do anything much about it. So best is to learn to live with it.
