I wish the same people who supported the occupation of wall street supported the rights of software developers and musicians.<p>More money is demanded from the protesters, yet when developers and musicians have a problem with people downloading their hard work without any compensation, the answer is: "you aren't guaranteed a profit".<p>Well occupiers, now it's my turn to say the same thing when you tell me you have a $50,000 student loan debt and you can't find a job or when you want a government-sanctioned wage increase for not doing anything more.<p>I feel like people that are successful are being attacked here. I've seen it time and time again with the protesters. They try to silence anyone that even has a hint of success.
Interesting, glad I read it.<p>I don't like to nit-pick, but I am always a bit uncomfortable when there is an implication that wealth is a "zero-sum game"<p>And that does seem to be implied here.<p>Wealth creation is complex. Be aware of oversimplification.
