I should just be allowed to take whatever I want from the shops because I don't have enough money to buy it!
It would economically detrimental to force you to pay for it. The entire system would suffer.
But these are intellectual property, would you be ok having to pay to be allowed to remember what you saw in the shop ?
Currently If I go to the shop, see a tasty looking ready meal, I can look at what ingredients are in it, go home and try to cook something similar without having to pay for the recipe.
Would a DVD shop be ok with me taking a portable player in, watching a movie, then putting it back on the shelf?
Aren't we doing that with books and magazine already ? Also many stores have TV on which they project movies that they sell dvd for
