Does your mental model of human behavior explain the 2000s warez scene? • Competition to leak high profile albums • High risk of prison • Not for profit! • Against rules to share leaks outside The Scene • Not about love for music. They leaked the SpongeBob movie soundtrack

I like that explanation ... i.e. diminishing returns.
