Does the power utility deserve a percentage of the movie's royalties then, I mean as long as these studios can control any revenue related to that move forever. So without electricity they couldn't make the movie right? So maybe they should have to pay anyone who had anything to do with making that movie a piece of the pie.

Electricity in itself is not intellectual property.

"Piracy" is more comparable to a person bringing a newspaper to the office in the morning and letting their coworkers read it.
One of the things I was arguing several days ago when this still interested me. Their rationalization for "sharing" newspapers and books to others was one of "scale." You see, it's okay to "steal" from producers if you only do it a little...
You also bring up in your other post another point I was making, the utter pointlessness of focusing on this stuff. They cannot stop file sharing. They cannot even put a dent in it. And they never will. What we have here is a small cadre of "self-published" authors (This is a euphemism for "people who write things that no one else wants to read") and others who wish to emote. The day one of them comes up with a reasonable solution that doesn't involve a tyrannical overreach from the federal government is the day I grow horns.

Oh...see if China and North Korea agrees with you.

And there's no reason to believe that it won't happen that way.
The expression is IP? Do you realize how silly that is?
So...when I decide to go BLAHHHHHH WASABI DORK
The actual physical vibrations are NOT property but me just deciding to say it.....is?
