How can you call them proper owners when all the research is funded by public money?

So change the law or whatever, but as it is, they own the copyright, whether you like it or not. Saying otherwise is at the same level of discourse as using the word "Micro$oft" and similar puerile rubbish.

You can't scam anyone unless you're breaking the law? Or you can't scam someone while funded by public money?

Sorry, some people don't want to support scams, even legal ones.
