>If someone does not intend to profit off their own work anyway, what is it to them then that someone else profits off their work?
I would not want any of my photos or content used without my consent, even if it has nothing to do with profit and money. A while back photo I posted online was used by someone with regard to subject matter that offends me and i categorically disagree with. Thankfully my work is protected by copyright so i was able to use the DMCA to force its removal.
> Sure, you say there are moral issues of profiting off the backs off someone's hard works. But such a law allows you to also do the same.
If i make my living doing photography or some other art form, i don't want to lose income because others are copying my work, nor do i want to profit off of others work because that is not my area of expertise nor likely what i want to do for a living.
