He seems to be mixing-up value and price, or something like those. Is it bad to have more good stuff -- the choice to have good stuff? That seems wrong. What is going to zero is limits on distribution.
Banging on with words like 'illegal', 'criminal', 'stolen' makes it sound like a testy lament that the barbarians are at the gates. Things are changing, and most likely for the better. The fear of diminishing content from loss of incentive is not materialising. Between 2002 and 2007, film, book, and music production are all significantly up ('File-Sharing and Copyright'; Oberholzer-Gee, Strumpf; 2010.)
Not being able to imagine how production might be funded without distribution monopolies (copyright) doesn't mean new ways cannot be developed. The tech that is withering copyright gives us much more than it takes away.
