I freely admit that there was a time that the Internet confused me. (It is because of my age) But I have learned a lot in a short time and I freely admit to thinking that the new form of business marketing is character assasination.
** I was wrong **
The Internet is just one of many different forms of product delivery methods available. It has some advantages compared to old methods and it has some disadvantages. But just because we have a new way to bring our products to market does not mean that time tested business practices and principals are obsolete. In fact they are more relevant than ever before.
I have more than 4 decades of experience in this field and in business. One thing that holds true even today is that character assasination is the tool of those that are engaged in screwing over others for their profits and it is also the tool of last resort of those that are desperate, usually a failing business.
Whereas a business person that does pays their employees a fair wage, creates a product of quality to the best of their ability and adhears to their promises does not need anyone to promote them. Because over time loyalty and trust always build.
So yes there is a corporate agenda behind the « save the Internet » gang. Because anyone truely intersted in freedom would just pull the plug. Real revolutionnaires meet in person and not on IRC and they certainly do not hide behind Guy Fawkes masks manufactured by Time Warner.
And believe me when I say that illegally downloading any of my films is not going to create a new more juste society. All it does it lower how much I pay my employees.
