Fair enough. I do argue rough, I didn't mean to insult you though. Just your views. But I suppose it's kind of moot, as what is a person if not the sum of their beliefs? So I'll take back my apology in that case as I don't have much respect for such beliefs, like I don't have respect for pro life beliefs and other things. I'm just a person that has little use for people with different value systems of my own.

In the spirit of 100% capitalism why should I respect copyright at all?

I view pure capitalism as doing everything you can to make money and look out for your own self interests, but respecting the right of others to do the same. That you want to be paid as much as possible for anything you create (and thus spent time you could have spent not working and doing other stuff) makes you respect that others have the right to do the same. And thus you either pay other's asking prices, or you do without the things they created and own the rights to. Just like you expect them to do without things that you created if they aren't willing to pay your price for them.
