this backlash has been a long time coming
a drug company has to spend billions and 5 years of R&D to get 14 year monopoly on what they create
yet an "artist" spends a couple of hours filming a scene and they get a monopoly for their entire life plus 70 years more.
That just insane how unbalanced copyright law is.

I agree with all of that. I can't point out any specific thing because I've seen you in huge threads over many years. I just remember some nutty posts from time to time, weren't you the time shifting guy? I haven't noticed anything lately that would make me cringe so never mind me for now.
But yes, I agree with you that everyone yelling at you about tubes was retarded. They were retarded then, many are still retarded but most have left the biz or come around. They did not understand the market, waged unwinnable wars (Steve Lightspeed still suing his fans) and so many that swore that they would never do business with anyone that had any relation to tubes. Mojohost capitulated recently, one of the last in a long line of liars.
For an industry that worked in gray areas from the start they sure were pissy about the gray area tubes operated in. Whatever.
As we all see, tubes aint going anywhere and the business model it will take to be successful has changed. Welcome to the internet people, it's been like this forever.
