>You are now suggesting that you owe nothing back to society in return.
how so? You sell a work, people buy it and are taxed. You make income and the govt. takes some of that income as tax for that very societal eductation they cultivate. trying to evade that is in fact punished, severely.
What more do you owe society than a literal part of your wealth? From the govt's POV, giving away stuff for free is worse than selling it.
