This view doesn't make sense to me. Have you ever created something through effort/cost? Is it not yours if it can only be displayed on a monitor? Most of us here have jobs/products that have the same limitation.

Okay, I accept that this is your position. I don't agree that it is ridiculous as its the basis of our entire digital economy including software licensing and everything else. No point arguing over it, so I'll just let you have the last word. Have a nice day.
