    Shouldn't the bigger picture here center around freedom?

    Why should anyone be prohibited from copying and distributing any information that comes into his possession? Is it not more important to live in a free society than it is to uphold the IP rights of a few.

    IMHO, sharing information should be a basic right of human existence.

    A truly free people should be able to parse, manipulate, duplicate, and disseminate any information that comes into their possession, except, of course where it concerns public safety of national security.

    Remember, artists are under no obligation to write of produce anything. And when information is truly free the world will change in ways we can not possibly imagine.
