   Pillaged from BlueSky:
   "20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.
   The law only ever serves capital."

     @AlisonCreekside that was the RIAA, which represented the relatively small music industry. Att the same time the RIAA was suing people, billionaires were making services to pirate music and electronics companies were selling MP3 players and bigger hard drives because everybody was pirating music. There really is not a change of policy for tech companies here at all.
