MrBlueSky, are you advocating theft? If not that, then a form of civil disobedience, akin to driving 65 in a 55 on an open stretch of desert highway.
Or is it something more fundamental? The fact that the sheep are waking up, that their rights are self evident and can no longer be denied.
Can we imagine such a society of empowered individuals? Does it frighten us, cause us to stumble back into our place of comfort?
What are we afraid of? If we are creators, let our creations stand on their own merits, for our creations are nothing without the society that contributed to them, that respects them, that understands them, that marvels at them.
If monopoly power over such creations can be justified, then express that in social contract with the very society to which they are inexorably fastened. Honor the contract, and society will do the same.
There will be change, but that too is a constant, or should be. Embrace that condition, accept it, and continue to create, as you always have, as you always will.
