I think that's a little harsh on RIAA/MPAA exexs. Their comfortable way of living gets validation from how enthusiastically property laws are enforced. That leaves plenty of room for them to believe they're doing the Right Thing™.

Even though, as an article of basic critical thinking, they certainly aren't.

Only if they define "the right thing" as "the thing that makes them the most money". And if they really believe that, then they're even worse people than I thought.

Pretty sure "the right thing" == "the thing that makes them the most money" is just known as "business" these days.

Only for some businesses (usually the really big ones, and the attitude is unusually prevalent in SV). Not "business" in general. And those businesses are being run by truly terrible people.
