You don't know me or my motives, nor do I ever expect you to. I do suspect from your nihilistic posts here that you could care less about anyone period. You're one scary dude.
All I know is what you told me. You said you're passionately endorse IP restrictions because you're an architect. If that isn't being motivated by self interest then what is?
I get it, you support strong IP restrictions because it's better for your wallet. Fair enough. Please understand, however, that some of us are more concerned with the underlying moral issues.

Most of the heat seems to be coming from an overly vocal minority. Why they've decided to latch onto this particular case is a mystery to me.
