Well, this is a simple argument that I just stumbled over:<div><br></div><div>"People want to share files. There is this much file sharing going on for a reason. It's what people want. Fighting piracy is fighting human nature. This is a battle no one can win. Getting your undies in a bunch at the thought of someone copying your ebook is a waste of a good ulcer. Worry about some problem that eventually will be solved. Like world hunger. Or cancer. Or war. Those will be conquered before file sharing is.... "</div>

Next Thursday we're having a debate versus a "jurist" (in 't engels) about<br>
why copyright-protected work should be free for non-commercial use. We'll<br>
be going head to head, and we'll be getting 24-second turns to make 10<br>
arguments each for why this is.<br>
<br>
We figured let's crowdsource this a little. What are the best arguments<br>
you've heard to prove our point as Pirate Parties about why<br>
copyright-protected works should be free for non-commercial use?<br>
<br>
Help us win our seat in Dutch parliament for the June 9 elections!!<br>
<br>
Don't debate, just push your one or two liners !<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Samir Allioui ( #1 candidate ) & Bas Grasmaayer ( Communications manager. )<br>
