Once people start talking about rights, I disagree. There is no inherent right in something that is not real property. It is something granted by the state to encourage creative endeavor. And it is therefore up to us, the members of that state to decide just for how long we want to encourage that creative endeavor.

At some point, the need to encourage creative endeavor becomes less important and the need to make works of literature, etc more widely available and at a lower cost becomes more important. This is point is what this poll perhaps reflects.
