Legalizing all software copying across the board would be a type of socialism or communism. The programmer, designer, coder, etc is due just compensation.
As the majority of human effort goes into research and data aquisition, there must be a system in place to systematically reward effort and punish laziness.
- pornel 16y agoThat's false dichotomy. Paying per copy is not the only possible way of compensating creators.
