"not created for the sake of culture itself, but for the sake of profit, and not intended to be shared." Are we supposed to care about the intention of the creators? By putting the creators' intentions first, you are promoting commercialized culture -- you are turning pieces of the culture into an exploitable asset. When commercial entertainment is shared, we get non-commercial entertainment. Sometimes it is silly, like the OVER 9000 videos on Youtube. Sometimes it is artistic, like remixes of hit songs. If we want to have a culture that is not controlled by profiteering gluttons, we need to ignore their wishes when it comes to sharing the entertainment they create; otherwise, they will always drown out whatever culture might emerge on its own (as they do today).
