So let's talk more about this art issue. You pay for the right to see a movie
in a movie theatre or steam a movie. Let's say you pay for tickets to go to a
concert a poetry reading. You and you alone specifically have the right to
view that medium for the duration. That guy off the street who didn't pay
shouldn't have the right to view it as they do not have the right to do so.
They created something for you and provide the best method to share with you
so they can have the income to continue to create in the future.
I'm talking about something in the realm of entertainment where it is not a
necessity. You can choose to view something or not. It isn't food and their
lives will go on if they choose not to consume your medium.
If you are the creator of that art, what benefit do you get from allowing
others to freely consume your media when you spent hours, months, or years
creating? During that time period you had to eat or pay rent or take care of
someone else. Where does the money come to if you cannot monetize it with at
least some restriction?
