[pp.int.general] Protest certain musicians?

[Richard Stallman]

    And you really believe, that visiting a single concert can fully
    compensate downloading the whole discography?

The term "compensate" refers to making up for a loss that you caused.
Also, by extension, it refers to pay people who do work for you (your
employees and contractors).

When people share copies, it does take anything away from anyone, so
there is no loss.  Also, the artists are not doing work specifically
for these people.  So there is no occasion to "compensate" anyone.
Let's be careful not to use that term, which distorts the facts of the
situation, and frames the issue in a way that suits the publishers and
helps them in the War on Sharing.
