Though I agree with the sentiment of the piracy manifesto, I find it to be rather petulant in tone and demands. It sound like: if you don't give me what I want the way I want it now I'm going to steal it. Well that will make them listen.

And some of it seems wishful thinking: product costs are always factored into pricing, bandwith seems the same to me, and laws differ from country to country, so global release / no restrictions might not always be possible. I also have no idea if the pricing structure is viable (production costs of a TV series or a movie). And every movie ever made: good luck with that.

This is exactly the wrong way to go about it. Instead of trying to take the industry hostage, do as I say or else..., they should be going: here's what you do if you want lots of people to give you money.
