Speaking very much from the cheap seats, I don't believe that matters a
jot.

Where large amounts of money are involved, whatever the methodology for
making it - people will fight to protect their methods. It's been seen
throughout history.

The point isn't whether or not that's a particularly good example. The
point is that what we (the "Internet community", for want of a better
term) are trying to do is to hurt the revenue streams of a small section
of that "community". That's never well received.
