As a good supporter of Austro-libertarian Ethics and Economics, and I'm also an enthusiast of anarchocapitalism. I see no reason for arguments of authorship or hysterical appeals against piracy, in some time this will end.
The young man who, at the time, unlocked the CD-ROM left such a great legacy and did good for humanity at levels of market and freedom much greater than any measure created by a bureaucratic politician scribble who lives to belch good words and morals in public.
There is no property that is not scarce. Ideologies, memories, music, arts, videos and information are not scarce goods, therefore, they are not natural properties or heritage. Intellectual right is not a legitimate property or a good to declare any aggression, it even becomes authoritarian to appropriate it! You can validate the credits and give rewards to the authors, yes, but this should be given naturally when a work is really recognized for its efforts and all its quality will be remembered. It just won't be recognized by stupid people. A poorly done work can even be reproduced again by third parties, but it will not be recognized even by the most grateful.
Every year it becomes impossible to block or maintain any control, it will even be the merit for what was best done and the gratification to the authors who will support. All these causes will only work if they are recognized, provided financially, in order to continue building the meeting of great teams to keep the development of good and real games. People must create every day the culture of buying or donating as a way of encouraging the efforts of immaterials artists, not delegating this moral act and respect to a scarecrow of morality created by laws or coercive decrees of an authoritarian government, you are creating a culture of fear and appropriation by dark means.
I wouldn't buy Reforged myself, I'm not a regular Battle.net user and I tend to be more entertained with campaigns and singleplayer maps, in addition to Blizzard's lack of greater commitment to delivering a more innovative game. And if anyone liked the models, we already have all the Reforged models in "SD". But I bought Reforged because I thought it was very fair to help encourage Wc3 to progress and for some reason, the team deserved my money on account of the good work in delivering a new graphics engine, good new UI and yes, the visual style of the new models pleased me, too deserved for these accomplishments. And knowing the quality of the team and that they will be able to continue creating more updates or in the future develop a new WC3, I really want to help.
