Seeing as Prince just recently declared, "The internet is completely over.", I would feel no shame in declaring war against the Barbarian of Holland, Michigan. But I won't. Kevin Smith does it better...

You probably realize that humanity is face to face with the last great obstruction to the future: copyrights and patents.

It's true. If it was ever possible to pretend that thought, idea, and progress could belong specifically to one person and not to the universe which gave rise to the unique circumstances of genetics, culture, art, technology, and belief that caused the automaton, said 'person', to create the "new" idea, that time was over in 1984, when the very first domain name was registered and the internet, as we know it, was born.

There is currently one clear delineation between theft and fair use, and I'm not talking about the laws of man, but the laws of nature. The difference is simple: if something can be downloaded, it's knowledge and therefore belongs to all living things in all dimensions, bar none; if you can't download something, then it's a valid product, and should not be stolen or duplicated, for fear of injustice.

Here's a great video and a website, QuestionCopyright.org, that talks in great depth about stuff that you probably already understand as true or will come to in not so long.
