The point of copyright law is to Promote Progress, not to block every single thing that doesn't specifically Promote Progress.
Does that mean I can use copyright law to keep you from eating a lasagna? I mean, eating a lasagna doesn't Promote Progress. According to your logic, I can somehow twist the law to deny you a lasagna. Prove to me that you're Promoting Progress with your lasagna. DIRECTLY.
How about, are you going to take a bath? Well, that doesn't Promote Progress. I can have 10 lawyers misinterpret copyright law so that you can never again take a bath. Unless it Promotes Progress, it can be denied by copyright law, right?
INFRINGEMENT, on the other hand, is about breaking some arbitrary law put in place by big corporations so that they have a controlled monopoly over every single expression of whatever art has been published through them, and it has no previous real-life analogue in history.

Please. The guy uses a smiley as a signature. It's obvious it's you who's angry. Here, take a chill pill, and come back and post when your chakras are aligned.
Actually, my words are "didn't have to pay for the products I resold".
Here TAM, let me help you, I see that the Alzheimer is acting up. You just said:
"don't pay for content, don't pay for use, basically, don't pay for anything"
If ya don't believe me, I have a hint for you: there's a key in your keyboard that reads "Page Up". Just look for your first post in this thread, and you can read what you said.
If you think that you were somehow hacked and someone else posted in your name, it's probably just the multiple personality disorder.
The trick is that you argue against IP without saying it's IP. Then, when everyone agrees with you, you say "Cool, then we agree that IP is bad!" and they can't take it back.
Here's the BS crap open letter from OK Go asking for forgiveness to the fans for the embedding fiasco, while at the same time whining that "the Future!" has made it harder for bands to get their music online, with their lack of paying for plastic discs and stuff.
I've lost quite a good amount of respect for these guys.
Well there's that mentality that no matter how ridiculously high the price, eventually you'll have 100% market penetration (people want to spend their money on your product, they're just saving up!) as opposed to, you know, a lot of people will simply not buy it until it is cheaper.
No, wait... value is artificial because it's man made, like a house. Some other attribute, like height, would be natural. Or is it natural only if it's the height of a tree? A house has artificial height?
A tree has natural value? Or wait... does it have scarce value? Natural scarcity?
A rock has mineral value and is a mineral scarcity.
I think it's all the same to TAM, all he keeps hearing in his head is "free bad!"
"there is no chance that there will be much in the way of "free to the internet" or "pay what you like", as they will need to make the money to keep the game going."
You're only going to be happy the day someone manages to make people pay for the stuff they don't like or have no intention of watching. Apparently we (the public) are some sort of charity that needs to keep filmmakers alive and rich.
So, in your opinion, a song is valuable because it's a song, and it's not the experience that's valuable. If that's the case, we should all buy plastic CDs and keep them in a safe box forever. I mean, why listen to songs? That would count as an experience, we all know that all those years, it's the grooves in the vinyl records what made them valuable, and all those flipped metal bits in CDs now are the real value and what makes them a sellable product.
