Because it's the society we live in today. In my case the people who
copy my works in their entirety and either give them to their friends
or worse yet make and sell bootleg copies are the younger generation,
raised by mommies and daddies who spoil them rotten. They think
everything on the planet is here for their consumption and
entertainment and screw the motion picture companies, record labels,
artists and songwriters.
My venue is adult dance competitions and unfortunately my product can
be copied. I bet they would steal from the shoe and clothing vendors
in the same way they do from me if they could.
