Internet Destroyed the Middle Class

Fantastic interview.  Very true stuff.  Hat tip, Viner.

This all goes back to Napster.  This is what happens when you let college students decide how the world should be.  College students embraced Napster and stole all the music they wanted, justifying it with digital utopian fantasies like "information wants to be free."  Well, the music industry died.  Newspapers came next.  Movies are following.  And stupid, young people think, well, it's the corporations that die and the musicians, filmmakers, and journalists will live on.  Really?  That's just bullshit justification for taking music for free.  But the implications to society are much more.
