selective piracy
ok, picture this. help malaysian local music industry by only buying pirated "varieties" of foreign celebrities' cds. patrick calls this "selective piracy." sometime this year, patrick realized that celebrities are really that rich, and decided that they don't need to be earning that much money. in order to strike at them, patrick vowed to never buy original cds connected with those celebrities. however, he claims to support local music and small-time, up-and-coming talent by buying their original stuff, thereby giving them a much-needed push into viability.patrick further claims that selective piracy can be gainfully employed to boost flagging local economies. it works the same way as buying protons to support the local automobile industry. by pirating foreign talent, and choosing to buy only original cds from local talent, we channel our hard-earned ringgit into the local economy, instead of further feeding the wanton greed of foreign celebrities.
interesting train of thought. responses?
