Selling tickets to ride a train is like selling tickets to a concert.
I don't think anyone here would criticize either of those practices.
Sharing copies is another thing entirely.

    There'd still be the artist
    that do not want you to listen their music without having paied (either
    direct or indirect).

Sure, some will want it.  And when they play concerts, they are
entitled to demand it.  But they are not entitled to get it by
stopping listeners from sharing, because the listeners have rights
too.

You seem to oppose the central goal of the Pirate Party,
so I wonder why you are here.
