If one's opinion of human beings is that they are fundamentally and irremediably:
- greedy
- unethical
- irresponsible
- sheepish
then one would agree with the position taken by the RIAA and its counterparts in all countries.
However, since the RIAA and co. are in fact made up of human beings, then those people necessarily believe that these are fundamental human traits, and therefore they themselves behave in such a way! Let alone forcing their clients, us the people, to react accordingly.
That to me is the psychosis of these organizations.
