If I shoot a movie and have a percentage of the profit participation that is figured into my up front salary.
I am now a vested owner in the production that I am "trading" my skills or talents for equity.
The distribution deal is worked out in advance and are part of the negotiations.
I now own part of this and I don't want you taking it for free. I don't care what your reasons or logic for taking something I own with out paying for it are but since it is mine and I don't want you to have it for free, you taking it form me for free is stealing. Period!
My brother is a musician. He has had his music on sound tracks.
He has heard his music being played at parties and asked where they got it. When the people told them they downloaded it and find out he owns the rights to it it can get awfully quiet and uncomfortable.
I don't think any of you would go online and steal my work with me sitting in the room.
