It is not, see copyright laws.
- monocasa 7y agoI literally cited the root of all copyright laws which very clearly states that all copyrights and patents are to eventually be public domain.
- diminoten 7y agoThe key word is eventually, which makes what you're saying irrelevant to the conversation we're having here. No one is talking about downloading media outside of copyright and you know that, but insist on derailing the conversation by continuing to talk about it anyway.
- monocasa 7y agoExcept, as I've said multiple times already, that part has been perverted to where now "forever minus a day" somehow suffices. When they pull that crap to hold on to property that should be in the public domain, I don't feel a need to respect even the concept that they own that IP.
- diminoten 7y agoRight, but in so doing you're presenting an inconsistent and selectively favorable-for-you viewpoint, which in reality is nothing more than a smokescreen for your greed.
