Nobody has a right to "earn a living" at anything, even manual labor, outside of a socialist system. But it has to be true that creators have a right to be compensated for consumption/viewing of their creations, if they make that a condition of consumption/viewing. That doesn't mean they'll make a living at it but it does mean they should not be robbed by any downloader who just doesn't want to pay.
Seems to me that is a clear line in the sand that you either cross or not.
