So this went from paid works vs piracy to eceonomic debates.

My thoughts are simpler than if communism is real or whatever.

I'm in favor of switching regulations around, nobody should be able to patent art or life saving machines.
There should be a variety of public and private land.
And everyone should get food and shelter for free at a minimum. They'll work for more if there's work to be done.
And then artists are free to share and hide their art wherever and not need to leverage it to just fucking eat. Not need to choose between doing what you love but hating your life, and slaving away at a call center, bugging people, just to have a roof.
