Oh and Piper. It this has EVERYTHING to do with rights. The rights of the one who creates the work and the rights of the publisher. The consumer has some rights but not to demand the things you and dog seems to be claiming.

The product belongs to the publisher. They get to decide what to offer to the consumer. If the consumer doesn't like the terms they can choose to go elsewhere, but that does not give them the right to break the law.

See how it really is all about rights? Copyrights and other rights.
Sorry, I assumed this one was about strategies to cut down on copyright infringement, and removing barriers between buyers and sellers is really the most obvious way to do it. It would be pointless arguing about whether something is "right" or "wrong" when it just "is". It would be like arguing about whether people should drive cars or not without doing anything to cut down on car use.
