  on BPI Unhappy With Techdirt, Seeks To Correct The Record... But Still Gets It Wrong
  "They totally overestimate how much their own stuff is "worth" to the wider ecosystem, and then demand that everyone just pay up. Except... that's not the way the world works. The world works by having smart people with smart business models figuring out ways to make people want to give you money, not by sitting back and demanding others just hand over money. "
  
  Actually - I counter that IS the way the world works... as screwed up as it is >
