Well-reasoned and persuasive comment, JdL. Just kidding! It was actually just an Ad Hominem argument — you attacked the person making the statement rather than the statement itself. Not very effective, please try again.

The author clearly has no desire to be productive himself and wants to subsist by stealing the productive work of others. In a world where IP is legally abolished, just try to imagine a Steven Spielberg spending $100 million on a blockbuster movie, only to watch as $1.00 DVD rip-offs are hawked on street corners the day after the movie opens. In that world, blockbuster movies will no longer be made, and Graham Smith will stand with his mouth open, unable to comprehend what has happened.

Luckily for the world, idiotic ideas like Mr. Smith’s are universally rejected by anyone with half a brain.
