The right to copy has always been a serious issue, if a work contributes to the well being of humanity, how can you define the work as belonging to an individual?
Why do some choose to never contribute monetarily to the creators? Beats me, maybe they are contributing in other ways. And perhaps these other ways are more important to the advancement of our culture than a simple transfer of funds. I'm an anarcho-capitalist by the way.
