Looks like you work for Panopta. Why are you guys charging up to $250/month for your product[1]? It should be free shouldn't it? I've decided $250 is too expensive and demand use of that tier for $3/month. I'm in the right aren't I?
I'm not sure what you're asking me. Demanding something is not the same as copyright infringement or theft.
If you're asking why we won't give you the service for what you demand because nobody owns it, I would argue that a service is both physical and finite, so I believe it can be owned. Our service involves physical work being performed, and it is limited by resources, so it being owned such that you cannot demand it is still consistent with my beliefs.
All I really see above is some hand waving justifying why your income should be charged for, yet for some reason some other person (musician) somehow is in the wrong for expecting other people to pay for their service and time it took to create their music for your entertainment.
No. I gave you very specific reasons why I believe what I believe. You see hand-waving because you don't want to argue against my reasons, which are clear and logically consistent.

They are not wrong. I like how you put the word "service" in there, because, in fact, they do get paid for their services. Try to hire a musician to put on a show, and you will have to pay. That physical and finite service is owned by the musician, and he trades it for money.
