You seem to think there are only two options: Piracy and artists living in poverty, or no piracy and artists not living in poverty.

Personally, how I want things to be is that authors freely release their content and still make a nice living. That's not necessarily natural and certainly not easy but you asked how I want things to be.

That'd be wonderful. Find a way to make that happen and you'll be rich and famous.

In any case, people who make money on the backs of other peoples' work explicitly against their will are still assholes.
