In which world are we talking about? That may be true for the first sale,
|
|
but once something is out in the world, the "creator" loses control... If I
|
|
buy a chair you built, and then decide to give it away to my neighbor, by
|
|
you're definition, he just stole from you.

Why is it that people don't understand that giving stuff away is a
|
|
perfectly acceptable tactic in capitalist businesses? In many places, it's
|
|
called "advertising": "buy one, get one free", "free shipping on any order
|
|
over $25", "buy this couch, and get a coffee table for free", "free popcorn
|
|
with any movie rental", "free doorprize to the first 100 people who enter",
|
|
"the author will be signing books (for free) at such and such bookstore".
|
|
|
|
Access to free stuff often helps to sell other stuff. Just because you
|
|
(and the entertainment industry, it seems) can't be creative enough to come
|
|
up with a business model to leverage free stuff into paid stuff... don't
|
|
take it out on the rest of us.
