ok - second example is a California woman who went to law school, passed the California Bar Exam (2-day, super difficult) went to work as a junior attorney at a law firm in Los Angeles and worked her way up for more than ten years to get a promotion. That law firm is intellectual property and yes, Digital Rights Management too.. and she now has a successful middle class life with a house. No one had money to buy her a house, she worked for that and she did not have the ability to define the rules.

Where is the commerce ? the market? the reality, in your dream solutions ?

edit as a sound designer and open software advocate, with a book published by MIT Press, please know that some people in the USA try to make the arts life, and some of the emphasis here is the empty hands and pockets that follow. Let's agree, no mafia sound sellers, but also "no" to complete free flow of all digital material no matter what.
