Mike Checks In On Open Mic Suppression

PYP advocates eliminating intellectual property rights, and explains why the concept is bogus.  Here is an example of the damage done by IPR enforcement.  One recurring theme is the Stockholm Syndrome attitude of the victims, apparent in this story.  The victims seem to take their abusers side.

Another intimation here is the "copyright holders" have hired thugs to shake down cafes and ballet schools for money, possibly earning a cut of the shakedown fee.  What if these people pressing for payment are not representatives of the copyright holders at all, just scammers?  The copyright people should be required to license their collectors, since they love a licensing requirements.
