Software is different from other copyrighted works like songs: software has
the executable and the code, music has just the song (every musician gets
the "code" just by listening to the song). I don't know why you compare the
executable/code thing to the music /money thing. It makes no sense: the
executable/code problem deals with freedom, the music/money thing deals just
with money. Money and freedom are not the same thing at all.
