Artists and inventors are able to make a living (I.E. eating...) and provide professional opportunities for many other people, too. They are able to encourage our inventive spirit by providing us with ideas and examples  so we may think the world in which we find ourselves and of ways to make it better.
Copying whitout any kind of sharing and mutual respect is not the highest form of flattery. Many people download music, movies, etc... from Internet sites that do not have the artists' agreement. This is much more than illegal… it's unethical and a kind of cybernatics slavery: a direct savage exploitation of work produced by artists and inventors. It is just as wrong to steal someone's intellectual work as it is to steal her/his food or a CD from a store.
It's not fun, it is "pathetic" !
