   There *is* no monopoly.  Anyone is free to create their own new songs or   
   movies or characters anytime they want to do so.

   So you want a "competitive market," but you also want to dictate the   
   selling price?  You're funny, and we're right back to high school   
   economics again.   
      
   > 3. Wanting the freedom to build upon our shared culture   
      
   Yes, "shared" as in "you share what you can do with me, while I give you   
   nothing in return because I just downloaded a free copy of your song or   
   movie."

   The "bullies" are not stopping you or anyone else from being creative.
