What do you think about our conversation Talking about the Internet, Video Future Thing?

"Illegal downloads hasn’t helped my profession. The video and the action sport industry have to adapt to the downloads. I know that hurts the quality, at least now it does, maybe not five years form now. And it’s been hard for filmers to make a living in the past, now it’s even harder. The filmers in snowboarding and skating makes very little money, stealing their videos online doesn’t help them one bit.
In Sweden there was a survey in out biggest newspaper about music and movie downloads. 90% felt like downloading should be legal. This proves that people don´t know what they are doing to musicians and artists like them. And it´s hurting the little guys the most. Hollywood will always survive.If people think it´s ok to steal my work I feel like I should be able to fill my car up with gas for free, get groceries for free, fly for free... you get the point... same argument."
