Generally speaking all the money is made in a very short time after release compared to the life of copyright
So? If you spent years making a movie, don't you think you should keep the rights for the movie for awhile? I have many friends that have careers with their style of art.
I'm not against piracy in general, you should absolutely go after the evil corporations. I'm saying that for the small time artist, they need protections.
Yeah but it's too long
I'm fairly sure that at this point pirating has been shown to lead to increased sales, even of small scale productions.
Also, no one said that people can't keep the rights for a while, just that if you don't let people access those things you don't get to prosecute them for making the art available.
