Actually, it comes down more to the idea that you shouldn't be allowed to support yourself with someone elses things.

Do you agree with Reagan using "born in the U.S.A?" No ones making money on it, and Reagan was a shoe it anyway, but it comes down more to what you want something you've created to go toward.

Not to mention intellectual property has many real world functions that without, you can see the results of in China where everythings pirated and sold wholesale for the lowest price possible.

Outsmarting and outthinking someone else allows the little guy to level the playing field against monoliths with much more money.
