The choice then becomes what one wishes to support - a sort of new online version of 'voting with your dollars'. My participation in Facebook funds an ideology I oppose. If music and video move to the same model, does that mean that every time I download a track - be it fluffy pop or neo-Marxist hip-hop - that I also *have* to fund an ideology that I may or may not agree with? I guess what I'm saying is that I'd rather pay the artists, even if, as Vincent Celement points out, their desire does stem from a sense of entitlement. I dunno' though - too 'Soviet Russia'?<br><br>-Nav This may be a little tangential but I can't help but think of this in light of the recent Guardian piece on Facebook.
