Of course not.
My comment was made as a dispassionate observer remarking on the reason that the market is what it is, and why the producers and distributors of copyrighted material will deserve to fail.
And why that is a Good Thing.
I am glad to hear it.

All producers and marketers of copyrighted material?
I ask because I write books. My books are published under copyright. Are you saying that I automatically deserve to fail because I do not give away my work free to anyone who wants it?
And why that is a Good Thing.
I keep hearing the same assertion (1 wouln't call it an argument) from people who apparently think it should be their right to enjoy what I produce without paying me for it. They never can explain why I should consider this a Good Thing. Can you?
Have eyou ever tried to get a license fee for music? I was trying to make a DVD for my daughters basketball team. It was to include 3-4 different songs. After contacting ASCAP, I found out that I would have to secure a license from each label, and in turn the attorneys of each recording artist.
In the end, it simply was too confusing. I WOULD have paid for it. I am in the copyrighted content business, and I felt it would only be right and proper. It would have been a good example for the kids and their parents.
However, getting the rights to the music for 15-20 DVDs was simply not worth the effort.
Make the fees reasonable and easy to secure, and most people will do the right thing.
