GG you need lots of people to buy things and the last thing you want is the removal of the copyright laws. That could spell the end of your free Torrents.

Because without copyright then copying would make producing pointless.

What would stop anyone from buying one copy of a piece of material that can be easily copied and setting up shop selling it? Therefore making the original producers work pointless and making future production pointless?

You need copyright laws as much as honest people who do buy?

the operation of the base//liciencing of the movie.

that the point, your analogy falls apart because it false

The only one that is valid is base being the act itself, the operation being the rights the act grants

and the people who benefit (from the operation) being equal the3 copyright holders who benefit (from the rights granted).
And what pays for the next movie to be created? The thieves stealing the last one won't. Your own explanation proves you wrong.
