It's not private property when you give it away for free, and private ownership is the basis of capitalism.

Its still the intellectual property of the copyright holder and they may dictate how its used. I hear songs on the radio all the time for free, it does not give me the right to copy them and use them to make profit...

Don't let GE get away with that. Capitalism is not based on private ownership. It's based on individual rights.(of which private ownership is an important cornerstone)
