"Act like a bad person long enough, support the illegal actions of many, and blaming the wrong people when things get tough results in what we have today. It's an adversarial relationship because you guys changed, you want more, you want it now, and you are willing to (steal, take, borrow, pilfer, procure, replicate, duplicate, pirate... pick your word) to get it."
"So what? Those have always existed in some manner. Don't be such a whiny little bitch."
Irrelevant, since you still defend this kind of post when it comes from your supporters.
But I guess you have a new "weapon" now, when somebody from your camp says something incredibly stupid, derisive and flat-out trolling you can just say "Hi Marcus!"

"Neglecting that minor error, JUST TELL US HOW TO "MONETIZE" the Internet for a movie that cost $100M, then, per Mike's example. -- You can't. There aren't enough "scarcities" possible to recover a $100M in "sunk (or fixed) costs" unless the movie is extremely popular. That's the central problem: you guys DON'T have a "new business model" that works in this environment. "
