I don't think was linked yet. It's a pretty good take on something relating to this issue, so I thought it's appropriate.

For example before my stint working in the film business I was kind of wondering why the heck don’t the filmmakers sell the movies like that, because I certainly would be a buyer. To my defense, I should say that this felt like a thing that looks really simple to an outsider, but once you enter the sausage factory, things turn out to be quite complicated. And that’s of course exactly what it was. Here’s the part where I blame the victim.
You hear a lot of bitching from media industry and artists that these filthy internet people don’t understand the realities of the work. And whose fault is that, hmm? They don’t understand the realities of the work, because nobody has ####ing told them.
If one percent of the energy that is spent calling downloaders filthy thieves was spent educating the public about how the business model works now, maybe, just maybe someone would’ve already come up with viable alternatives.
