I do. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that the old way of thinking has apparently died out.
At no point have I been more likely to convert to a free software zealot. I'll have to rethink my stance going forward on pretty much everything I do.
Anyway, thank you to everyone for providing thoughts and comments. This was most helpful.
- detaro 8y agoYou're in a situation where you are going to loose from a legal perspective, and (IMHO) nothing about your case makes it a particular interesting one to publicly demonstrate injustice or problems with how copyright works, which is why making a stand out of it looks like a waste of time and money. If your goal is to widely/permanently make something accessible that the rightsholder doesn't want you to share, posting it under a real identity on a platform that'll enforce copyright really isn't the way to go.

- BugsJustFindMe 8y agoCan confirm, as a FOSS developer and advocate with zero tolerance for the kind of petulant disregard for the ethics of sharing and consent being displayed by op.
