Well if they want to get it from you then certainly they must pay, but the question is basically whether your property rights extend to someone other than you.

Well one might not go that far, but the marginal cost is zero.

that's exactly it.

digital copying is a perfectly competitive zero marginal cost game.

only immoral thieves IMHO are the monopolists who want to make society worse off by trying to enforce artificial and pointless barriers to that market.

Ah yes, the people who make what you want are "immoral thieves".

It's insane how people somehow arrive at that point in their thinking.
