It's selfish to withhold knowledge and entertainment for the poor. Have you no heart?
And yes, I agree, in our capitalist society a lot of such evil occurs. Getting rid of the unvirtuous notion of intellectual property and copyright is just the first step in making society better.

And such "day jobbers" will continue to have jobs. Isn't that the best way?
