So, are you saying that content creators should not be able to sell their content at all? I would appreciate further explanation on the fact content creators whether it be a movie studio or a software developer are simply taking "your culture" and as such you should be able to reclaim it at no cost?

I do agree with your sentiment that IP law is inherently stifling and increasing futile, i.e. Apple v Android.

However, I fail to see the difference between someone who produces an item for sale in the form of something that can be captured in bits of data vs a more tangible object. Aren't both parties entitled to the ability to monetize(if they so desire) on the time and effort put into creation of their final product?
