If you are a video game creator spending millions of dollars on graphics engines and monopolizing the gaming industry, charging $50 for the shittiest game of the year, then QUIT ****ING KIDDING YOURSELF AND REALIZE THAT VIDEO GAMES ARE A HOBBY AND NOT SUBSTANTIAL FOR EVERY DAY LIFE.

Copyright's were created solely for the purpose of maximizing profit off of non-material goods. That is BULLSHIT. Why would you even pay for something that does not contribute to your well-being? Copyright Laws are capitalism at its absolute lowest. Utopian society has no room for this bullshit.

With that little header I'm not sure if this is a joke or not but please for the love of god I hope it is.

Yes, and no.
Creators deserve to be compensated for their works, but what we have going on is greed in its purest form. Even if we take piracy completely out of the equation, bands and artists are getting 5-10% of the profits of their albums, at best. It's a little better for games and movies, but music is the biggest on YouTube. Go to YouTube and type in just one letter in the search bar, the suggested keywords are always at least 1/3 musical in nature.
