Wow..this thread has really taken a life of its own.
I truly found the urge to jump upon the suggestion of "ownership" being an illusion.
All I can say is give me your car and all your money, because in the end "all we are is dust in the wind"! Right?????
If I create a product designed to sell in order to provide myself sustenance, then by God that product is MINE until you purchase it or I choose to give it away.
I don't care what goes on in the minds of every spoiled-rotten little booger-eater who thinks he/she is entitled to something he/she is not, and I don't care how many goods songs a CD has, (by the way, I have tons of old cut-out records suffering from the same problem...but I PAID for them), the problem begins and ends with people who have seriously bent perceptions of entitlements, not to mention the basic concepts of right and wrong. Isn't our society truly brimming-over with this type of thing?
The biggest problem I see here is that of trying to defend, support, and legitimize an act of wrong-doing.
Such is precisely why people can get so heated in such a debate, because it truly does strike a chord within all of us...or at least most of us, exactly as it should.
