I'm not sure why people come out with these moral axioms whenever piracy comes up.<p>"<i>Monopolists should not have a legal right to their market</i>"<p>Such a big statement with no real way of supporting it any further (the converse is also true). None of the rules around copyright or property ever came about because of any kind of "Natural Law" or moral reasoning. John Locke, be damned. Property rules were created based on existing conventions, or in some cases, created to correspond to defensible borders.

Humming is not.
