If you don't agree with file sharing you're living in the past, or worse...greedy.
Not much negotiation there.
It's a very disturbing view of the world indeed. What basicaly some are saying is : "Hey, you WILL get "fooked", just get used to it and accept it". If that so, we might answer , why shouldn't we fook them too in return , with some really ugly repressive laws ? Why should it be one-way "fooking" only ?

It's hard to be in a relationship with somebody that tells you "hey , i will steal from you, whether you like it or not, now go create some music for me, and don't forget to thank me at the end of your shows"

If somebody puts it as an axiom from the start that he will NOT respect you, how can he expect you to respect him back ? What kind of relationship is this ? How can you bond with an audience like that ?
