Basically what Richard Stallman is saying is that if someone creates something useful they must just give it to anyone and everyone without payment. Sorry but the world doesn't work that way. They are free to give it away if they want, it is not required though. And you can't punish someone for not doing something they are not required to do.

I agree, but for some reason some people don't consider Intellectual Property subject to normal laws and morality.
