    They created the content. They spent the money doing it. Its not a natural resource, its not something you could possibly come up with an argument to claim you have any ownership rights over.

    The difference between Windows and Linux is that the Linux people admit to problems like that. Windows doesn't say anything; so you assume it can't happen.

    Just goes to show you that ignorance is bliss :)
