And besides, how many companies are going to invest money in research if they are not going to make a profit afterwards? Are pharmaceutical companies going to develop new medicines if, after spending a fortune on research, they can not make a profit for that work? How can a movie production company survive if all the people pirate its films and don't pay to see them?
And finally, for me, the subject of intellectual property is a moral issue. Men who dedicate their lives to research and artistic creation need to receive a fair compensation for their work in order to survive. Society, morally, must give them money according with the benefits that their creative ideas are bringing to others. If not, it will be very difficult for them to continue their scientific research and their artistic creations.
