That's basically how I feel about copyright matters. I abhor long copyright terms(28 + 28 with optional renewal was a good system; Life + 50 is a sensible thing given the international nature of intellectual property) but I also believe in the rule of law, so I despise piracy and hope for some sensible legislators in that area.
I'll leave discussion on the merits of various economic systems to where it belongs: the political forum.
