They use the Government and laws to snatch up and exploit works. Using 
the same system against them is simply payback time. It all depends on 
which side of the wall you stand.

     Looked at from one side, the wall enclosed a barren sixty
     acre field call the Port of Anarres ... It enclosed the
     Universe leaving Anarres outside free. Looked at from
     the other side, the wall enclosed Anarres ... cut off
     from other worlds and other men, in quarantine.

     The Dispossessed - Ursaula Le Guin.
