These are the most salient facts of the copyright fight: creativity is a non-economic activity, and this makes creative workers extremely vulnerable to exploitation. People make art because they *have to*. As Marx was finishing *Kapital*, he was often stuck working from home, having *pawned his trousers* so he could keep writing. The fact that artists don't respond rationally to economic incentives doesn't mean they should starve to death.
