Since you asked... I subscribe to a school of political philosophy known as agorism:

Call it libertarianism or anarcho-capitalism if you like. Close enough.

Now, that implies that I believe copyright to be an immoral distribution monopoly founded in infamy and, like all state-granted privileges, ultimately enforced at the point of a gun:

Naturally, I believe we'd be (and that we will be) much better off without it:

Obviously, I would expect no more than about 10% of readers to be prepared to agree with me, since that's about the typical proportion of individualists to collectivists ;-)
