To a certain extent, you're right. But every pirate I've ever met is
at least somewhat in favour of FOSS. And it does show that it's
possible to produce large and complex software without having a
business model based on selling copies. FOSS and Wikipedia are proof
that copyright is not a necessary incentive to create complex
informational works.
