Come on, you can't compare TPB with Flattr. If your gripe is with the 10% fee, fine. I also think it's too high, and Sunde himself said when the economics allow for it, the fee may be reduced.

Why should he get to profit on the backs of hard-working developers and musicians and at the same time saying they shouldn't be able to earn a living?

When did he ever say the developers / musicians shouldn't be able to earn a living? Just because someone thinks culture should be shared for free with the world, doesn't imply that the creators (more like "remixxers") shouldn't be able to make a living from their work.

Find me a developer/musician who had to close up shop because TPB ran them out of business and I will eat my words.
