Software is properly understood as an economic "public good". The whole system of copyright etc is just rent seeking through threat of gun. Making money off public goods is inherently difficult, you need in essence to get paid first because once the product exists it's non-rivalrous. Copyright destroys all that by threatening to shoot you if you do the obvious thing of using a public good without paying the feudal lord
