Seriously GG you are not as bright as you think.
Elton John doesn't make an album so he can sell one and everyone can copy from that one.
Warner Bros don't make a film so someone can go into a cinema copy it and give it to millions for free.
And using your example of a chair. A chair manufacturer doesn't build a factory, employ people, design and perfect the chair and sell the chair to you.
So you can copy it and give it away for free or copy it and sell the copies.
They all do it for the mass market. So you can buy a ticket to see a movie for $10-$20 bucks and watch a movie that cost $20 million to make. Or buy a DVD for $10, that costs $100,000. Or buy a chair for $100 that costs $50,000 to create.
This is why I don't read your links and why the video I saw of the bike being copied is stupid.
A chair is property, music, film, programs, porn can be. But not for a fraction of what it costs to produce. For the price you pay, you buy the license to use, view or listen. Unless you steal it, then you get it for free and let others pay your contribution towards the manufacture.
Did you understand that?
