People are so easily confused and misled and don't question anything and this is where the issues start. Copyright by design was originally designed to allow free sharing of creations without any restrictions, and there was an option to pay a fee of your choosing, but it was not compulsory, there were no "agents" from the corrupt "industry" controlling and milking it for every cent and the works by default were owned by the creator only.
Paying for movies does not mean you own the movie, as the ownership never transfers to the purchaser. In effect you are leasing the movie. However in the early years of Copyright people wrote books regarding treason in relation to their Administration / Government and in an attempt to control this material, the Stationers of England were created to control all creative works by others - for a fee or charge or be threatened via blackmail / coercion / extortion. This created an "agent" like the "MAFIAA" who controls creative works by others and profits it for it, and hands back the remainder to the "creator"
Copying is not illegal and is not theft despite the corrupt industry switching the term "copy" to "pirating" to psychologically make people feel bad for their actions in order to financially sway them to pay for what they want.
Quote "To read the true history of copyright is to understand just how completely this reaction plays into the industry's hands. The record companies don't really care whether they win or lose these lawsuits. In the long run, they don't even expect to eliminate file sharing. What they're fighting for is much bigger. They're fighting to maintain a state of mind, an attitude toward creative work that says someone ought to
own products of the mind, and control who can copy them.
And by positioning the issue as a contest between the Beleaguered Artist, who supposedly needs copyright to pay the rent, and The Unthinking Masses, who would rather copy a song or a story off the Internet than pay a fair price, the industry has been astonishingly successful. They have managed to substitute the loaded terms "piracy" and "theft" for the more accurate "copying" — as if there were no difference between stealing your bicycle (now you have no bicycle) and copying your song (now we both have it). Most importantly, industry propaganda has made it a commonplace belief that copyright is how most creators earn a living — that without copyright, the engines of intellectual production would grind to a halt, and artists would have neither means nor motivation to produce new works."

Oh so the movie was made without any money changing hands? The person that put pen to paper doesn't own what they wrote? You should just be able to take anything you want without compensating anyone? Good.... leave your doors open so anyone can come by and just take whatever they want.

The real world is corrupt and full of people making money off other people's creations - how does this help creators - too many hands in too many pockets.

) that's reasonable to me.
