The thing is that they could do plenty without creating anything if they wouldn't go so
far overboard and actually do everything possible to prevent the original creators
from making a dime off their own stuff.
For example, the original Napster format; they insisted on not giving the music industry
even a penny per song. Then went to court and spent that much to get fucked.
The biggest problem with infringement is that the infringing parties are so selfish and
greedy that they turn "fair use" into "fucking abuse".
It's that "sense of entitlement", they are entitled to abuse your shit.
If they were not so arrogant and entitled then they would actually pay a penny
and there wouldn't be much of an issue.
Greedy motherfuckers ruin everything.
Look at adult :
- pay per click
- traffic trading
- gallery posting
- pay pal
- visa
All these things were either restricted or shut down because of greedy people
cheating and disrespecting the rules.
In the old days the only thing a webmaster had to do to make 1000's of dollars
was to put up some porn and not cheat. But that was just too hard for some people.
Greed, it's only good until every easy way to make money gets shut down to
stop the greed.
