Copyright law takes away property rights you would normally have and replaces them with licence rights.
Copyright is a government granted monopoly moron.

So...you're perfectly fine with the notion that after someone spends tens of thousands of dollars and years gaining education/experience/know-how in photography, renting/buying studio space, purchasing wardrobe, camera/lighting/computer gear, hiring models, make-up artist, registering their business...then spending countless hours shooting those models, editing the pics, creating a website (with all its associated costs and labour) - and then someone comes along, purchases copies of the pics (
or outright steals them without paying a dime) - tosses them up on a shitty little website and generates revenue from them.
If you agree with the logic(sic) of Dean Baker - you're just as fucked in the head as he is. No surprise that crap like this is sought-out and diseminated by Al-Jazeera.
Nonsense like this is usually written by those who produce or create nothing original themselves.
