There's no need to perform a speculative autopsy on HN; I request the mods dispense strong guidance to posters in this thread.

He's implying the music industry killed him

motive is what exactly? They complete wiped the floor with them in court, what is gained by killing someone after that?

Had he made any public statements regarding trade treaties? Without knowing what's in the treaties, it's tough to gauge how motivated the behind the scenes players are, and how far they would go.
