In pretty much every other case, laws exist to facilitate the
business, but do not create it. It's only in the prevention of
copying at gunpoint where the business would not exist were it
not for the laws. As such, I find it impossible to feel any
sympathy for those who feel entitled to help themselves to the
labor of us all in order to harass, abuse, and jail those who
do not wish to tithe to them.

There is a great deal of evil in the world that continues to be
done as it's always been done. That is hardly a good argument
for its continuation.
