Hold your horses sir!
When I create something I'd want to get paid for it, unless I explicitly release it under some public license (which I do from time to time). HOWEVER, if I don't then you can assume I want to get paid.
If me getting paid is through a publisher (who BTW sponsors my projects) then so be it.
I don't think you're in a position to decide for others. Let the people who create stuff choose for themselves.
Yeah but that's the point. When you buy a piece of software it is *usually* the publisher making most money, not the developer (there are notable exceptions to this, Microsoft etc). Also, for some software companies it is in their interest if piracy exists (i.e. they make more money). Take an expensive piece of technical software (some software can cost 1000s of euros, pounds, dollars, whatever you prefer). People who cannot afford it would either not use it or pirate it. Is it stealing if they pirate it? And if later they can afford the piece of software, they might well buy it. A typical example are students using pirated technical software. When they get employed they know that software well, creating an incentive for the employer to buy this particular software. Hence the pirated party actually makes more money because of piracy.
