Ooh, debate dug!
I also voted for the Pirate Party last year, in the elections for our
Assemblée Nationale.

Maybe you could quote me?
But then: who are the artists? A caste of cultural goods producers? Or just anyone willing to express himself/herself in a non-rational or indirect way?
I have already started to wonder about the
necessity of having a caste of people for that purpose. But I guess it is way off-topic, and surely too soon for this to change (regarding the evolution of society, especially its welfare).
But back to your disagreement with me.
I have proposed many solutions in this debate, none of which have been commented (and now back with links):
-
global license
-
global patronage
-
donations
Just some ideas worth thinking of, instead of debating about if it is good to download/steal/share/whatever.
