You are just defining harm using your preconceived notions about rights.
How are you any more harmed by me preventing you from growing crops, than I am harmed by you preventing a sale of copy of my book because you sold it to them first.
- breck 7y agoOne system is grounded in physical laws (you can’t “git clone” land), and the other is a manmade restriction on the mind’s natural ability to grow. Depriving you of a future sale is just saying you are not entitled to some unnatural profit that you feel entitled to, even though your book is worthless in value compared to all of the intellectual products that you so freely use from prior generations. Anyone who thinks their ideas are so precious and important that they should be able to control how people use those is oblivious to their true negligible contribution.
