> The author claims that he hates the music industry and won't miss them, yet he admits he's willing to break the law to get their products.

He's not breaking "the law". His breaking some law. You surely broke some law in your life? You can't be sure that you didn't. You just try not to inflict harm on other people and get by.

"Their products" spam everything everywhere. Their billboards litter public space. Their music litters radio waves. Their silly cliches litter minds.

If you dangle a carrot in front of peoples faces you shouldn't complain that someone will eventually eat it without paying you a goddamn thing. Especially if he can do that without you even noticing.

I think if piracy stops Hollywood from shoving their crap in everyone's faces it will be a good thing.
