I used the word disgusting in response to your use of it first. I hate to get childish here but you started it. And yes I did and do take offense. I note that you're only sorry if i took offense not sorry you made offensive comments.
In the spirit of 100% capitalism why should I respect copyright at all? I think most of us here have agreed that a copy doesn't deprive someone of their original at most it deprives them of the chance to profit off the copy so why bother giving people monopoly rights, without the costs of creation I could sell copies cheaper than you do and still turn a profit, isn't that good? There's no benefit to me if you're making money off a creation.
And if you don't create well then what's the harm to society there. Society only benefits when you no longer have control of a work and it's free (libre) for people to remix, even choosing to give work away free (beer) right now doesn't change your right to control it. A work under your control benefits you, a work open to everyone benefits everyone. A compromise is some time for you, the rest for everyone 56 years is more than fair as the original US copyright term was 7 years and people still managed to create.
