Just because someone wants something doesn't mean they have a right to it.

I'd like to charge everyone who sees me when I walk down the street - I'd make a bundle - but I'd think society would be pretty stupid if they indulged me.



You really can't see the difference between that and somebody making money from your work (possibly more than you do) without providing you with any compensation?


Sorry but that isn't the discussion here. No one is saying it's ok to make money from other peoples work.

We are talking about normal consumers.
