Oh and it just hit me why I was so bothered by James Gannon, aside from him being a prat, Ganon is the evil monster that traumatized me while trying to save princess Zelda.
It is not hatred it is a general dislike and contempt for people and/or organizations that feel entitled.
I really don't care for people that want to glut themselves on a one-time accomplishment or even worse the one-time accomplishment of someone else.
So when someone stands in front of me spraying my face with spit as they demand that I payment for something that is more than 6 months old I get irritated.
I feel this way about my son's girlfriend that is about to calve again and has never paid for groceries in her life because "the State gives" them to her just as much as I do about someone waving a copyright or patent in my face.
Interesting that apparently criminals have been able to see what the distribution companies cannot/will not see, that it is a dying industry which no longer offers easy money.
