“Stop and think about what youre saying, here. Music, entertainment, sports, theyre all free?”
Yes, they are, and it really doesn’t matter what you or I feel about it. We can wail and moan and tear our hair out about it, but it won’t change the fact that they are all freely available to anyone with an internet connection.
“What do you do for a living? Can it be made free? If so, I suppose you wouldnt find that objectionable.”
It wouldn’t change reality even if I did find it objectionable. The best I could do would be to try and adapt to the new reality before it ground me between its gears and spat me out.
No, they’re not “free” and the creators of these products (yes, they are products) will cease to produce them. A musician, professional sports figure, photographer, play writer, screen actor or any other person involved in creating products that are disseminated via electronic means are not slaves. They will not be forced to produce without compensation. You will not receive benefit of their efforts without paying for it. If you can’t be stopped from stealing, then the supply will be cut off.
You go on ahead and work for free. Such an altruist you are.
