You're arguing the wrong point completely. No one here objects to breaking down barriers, and giving more creators access to a market. Commercial piracy like Megaupload is a hindrance to that.
It's clear that you have great admiration for artists, but really, they're only slightly more magnanimous than the rest of us. Not making any money incentivizes no one. If you think Western culture would be as rich and diverse as it is without copyright and capitalism, check again.
What certainly should be avoided is admiring a convicted repeat-criminal who's business it is to exploit people at every opportunity. People who support Kim are like people who vote for Berlusconi. They are literally the problem in this world. Have some fucking values.

Hatred for the "content mafia" is not a value.
