Reply #44: To use your metaphors, [View All]

[Nadienne]

Stealing a car - in order to deny corporations of their unearned profits - also has the effect of making consumer thieves look like thieves and making labor look like the victims of consumer theivery...

Even though, in reality, all along they've been the victims of corporate thievery (whether it be uncontested chump change or more overt millions)

But stealing the car makes the corporations look like the defenders of labor...

My opinion of this is clearly less than solid, and now I think I agree with you that stealing the creations of artists is not a good way to go about defending artists.
