The other day, a commenter on the blog wrote this: “Digital content creators should have **the right** to control how their content is consumed. Whether they want to be financially compensated or wish to give it away for free should be their choice—not the users or The Pirate Bay.” That digital content creators should have the right to control how their content is consumed and distributed isn’t something I’d argue against, in *most* circumstances.
