Look at the larger picture, Steev -- what you're saying is that artists
and musicians who work in the digital domain should give their work
away, whereas painters, sculptors, and lounge pianists should all be
entitled to business as usual.
Or are you saying that artistic creators in meatspace must be forced
to give their work away too? How else would you achieve parity?
