RE: Moving to hive
Because you need money you think it's right to limit people's freedom of expression. Copying is Stealing, except that it's not. And Licenses are always for doing what is UNLAWFUL and ILLEGAL.
As it's often said in Spanish "tus derechos terminan donde comienzan los del otro". Your rights end where the other person's rights begin. You have the right to shoot your gun, but not if you're pointing it toward the little granny who is walking her dog. She has the right to live just as much.
Juridical sciences use this balance to theorise about the creation of laws.
I know you hate laws, think they're rules imposed by some gang who took up the government seat and tells you what to do regardless of your acceptance of it. That's why I don't ever say "because it's illegal" when I talk about right and wrong. Laws change, but the basis of ethics remains the same as it is discussed regardless of what governments choose.
Licenses are compromises first, then rules, then laws. I am talking about licenses as compromises that the producer makes with the consumers. I make this under the condition that you will not do that with it. If I see you doing it, I will, by all means possible to me, try to stop you, and if I fail, I will consider you someone who broke the compromise and I will deny you all the benefits of my content as I see fit and take all measures of retaliation I can.
Because that's what a license is, just the way you don't go and piss on a dead body in front of the family. It's may be a victimless crime, but there's a social compromise that we stick to when we make decisions.
