If you can’t create a character and bring out whatever values you wish...perhaps writing isn’t for you.

I'm not talking about the character, per se. I'm talking about his values and what they represent in our culture.
I'm wondering if you really fail to see that or are just twisting things.
Here's how I see the things being discussed in this thread. Copyright has benefits that may outweigh it's ills. It does infringe on free speech but maybe not too much and maybe it's worth it. But not if we get too carried away with it.
Literature, good or bad, is more important to me than the question of whether and how writers get paid. We do have to be fair to writers if we can. We can't let that get in the way of creativity. We have been doing that for a long time.
