The problem with this argument is that the underlying assumption is, &quot;I have a right to make a living through the sale of information.&quot; This is a popular idea to say the least, but it&#x27;s a positive right which is why I disagree with it.<p>I do not think that people should be able to own ideas and information.<p>&gt; And most of these people are not people who are trying to earn a living from their works.<p>You could make the same argument to a person who wanted to abolish slavery. Just because someone is earning a living by doing something doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s right.
