The author points out what should be obvious, that the major argument for copyright is that it makes the publishing industry richer - and that making the publishing industry is far from a sufficient argument for the criminalization of sharing.

People will continue to create so long as there is a demand for what they create, whether or not creators get to use an interventionist law to run the purchaser through the wringer.
