Because the more of their rights you take away the less incentive they have to create?

Incentive to create things I can't have, use, or see, regardless of my willingness to pay?

Okay. I don't care if they have that incentive, and I don't think many other people do either.

Now, if they're going to create AND distribute things, that's another story. Then I'm on board.

That libertarian capitalist bullshit. People create things for free all the time. The purpose of creation is for the use of those creations. The purpose of government is to administer the common desires for the common good of the society they administer.
