I agree. If the public domain was as important as copyright, the problem of piracy would largely go away. It's people, living in the midst of the public, that think they have a god given right to create works of art solely for profit. Art is meant to improve the public good. Making money from that work is only a byproduct of your contribution to society.

Since everything is ass backwards, its no wonder people pirate content.
