It IS OK if we all benefit. We'd be worse off if we had 100% enforcement of intellectual property rights.
Do you really believe this Lumpens? Because if you do, I give up because now I am debating a free trader who is also a socialist. In your world view, Hollywood movies can be copied and distributed with no remunerations ever going to the producers.
Surely even you can connect the dots Lumpens... capitalism would quickly collapse under your such rule of law. Because no producer would ever spend a dime doing anything if they knew their work would be legally copied and freely distributed to everyone in the public.
Free distribution of intellectual property is NOT OK if everyone but the producer benefits. You may benefit and I may benefit but that does not make it right or help it work. Ask Venezuela how your kind of socialist economy is working for them.
