Stop putting words in my mouth. I say perfectly well and quite clearly what I mean.
The copyright and patent laws were put in place to protect creators and to encourage creative endeavors, not for the public other than the side-effect of that creation being made more readily available to the public due to the protection offered the creator by the law. To argue anything else is foolish and a misunderstanding of the purpose of intellectual property laws.
