We need a sticky post that lists all of the old posts on this argument. That is, all of the old posts on "it should all be free" versus "you have an obligation to follow the creators wishes".
Then when a new one of these starts, we can say: "See these posts. What do you want to add?"
I have nothing against giving newcomers a chance to state their views, but the point is that some of us have already gone on the record. At this point, we probably aren't going to change each others minds; we are just going to waste a few electrons restating our own opinions.
