I don't speak for everybody, but neither does anyone else. So we speak for noone/everyone.

If we/me view greed as non-beneficial, then why does it exist? We can ask why does intelligence exist? To further human progress?

What is progress?

eventually=now
Well, how about you start working on getting rid of your greed --- you said you object having to pay for books, that is greed. You want something for nothing (of course, we all do sometimes, that is human nature). The essence of greed. That is why society has developed mechanisms like property rights and copyrights -- to keep the greed in check and protect the rights of those who work for the benefit of society.
