- ramidarigaz 16y agoThe "The web is considered 'public domain'" argument seems to be said by people who have personal interest in that statement being true. The "When it's out on the internet..." is more a statement of inevitability. The person making the statement may not participate in taking the content, they are just pointing out that it's inevitable that other people will.
