That's a very poor attitude and as I said will result in damage to culture -- Cory said that as well. The problem is that if you have the passion but do not have the time cause you have to make a living the art is lost, the culture is damaged. The whole purpose (as Cory said as well) of Copyright is to allow intellectual property creators to earn a living from their work thus enhancing the arts and culture.
It's not nearly as black and white as you are attempting to paint it.
