Those who think it is theft are generally older and will die out sooner or later leaving the majority who think it's not theft since they grew up downloading torrents.
Deeply moral issues change over the decades, something trivial like copyright theft will no doubt experience the same ebbs and flows.

So the young artists of today shouldn't want to be getting their rights to their intellectual property protected because it's only the stupid old codgers like me who think copyright misuse is wrong
Also IF I work in an office/shop/factory I get paid weekly/monthly for the work I do.
An artist/musician has no weekly wage and relies on selling his work.Why shouldn't he get the copyright on his product.It's the same as an inventor having a patent on a machine/gadget getting his his dues when his patent is used by others..Why should anyone work on producing anything if they aren't to get paid for having written,composed,painted.invented it.
I can't help thinking that those who want to download what they want for nothing are not actually creative themselves.
