People are really entitled when it comes to copyright, just because they like something they think it's okay to steal it, just because "it doesn't hurt anyone", an while in some cases that may be true, they act offended when something is behind a paywall or when an artist or company try to limit access to a piece of media. The author and the copyright owners are in their right to do whatever they like with any song/movie/show/book, and people shouldn't be mad because someone limit access to something they rightfully own. Imagine if your neighbor comes walking into your house and steal food in your freezer because they say "they're a fan of your food" that's fucking stupid. Stop bitching about not being able to consume like the pigs you are and try to produce your own things instead.
The thing is... They are ideas. I belive that you should not put a price or any restriction to an idea. It is like, "oh I found a mathematic proof for something and I will sell it". You are basically stagnating an entire sector of human discovery because of your selfish endeavour to make more money. If we are talking about physical stuff, like hardware parts and the amount of work that should be ammounted to it, then yeah, people should pay for physical stuff. How are these people are gonna get payed? You can pay them if you are making hardware that runs these ideas and pay them through hardware sales. Otherwise, donations and public media funds. The system only benefits those who host the ideas and not those who make the ideas themselves. They should get most of the credit and a public media fund where we all pay for access to media will be the best way to ensure good work will exist.
