> Your insistence & persistence in both being cruel to consumers & also personally insulting me at the same time is remarkable. As far as I can see the only think I'm saying here is that creators should be able to create things as they see fit. I did not say a word about consumers or what they should be doing. I would love to know what gives you the impression that I'm being cruel to consumers here. You did insult me first, why are you surprised that I would defend myself? You are even doing it in this post to.

>creators should be able to create things as they see fit So you support the abolition of copyright law? That would certainly go a long way toward solving the problem of media self-destructing within human timescales. But if creators get to benefit from government granted monopolies, it's only fair that we introduce some consumer-protection law too. Copyright was intended to benefit both consumers and producers. Deliberate destruction of media is a sign that it's drifted too far in the producers' favor.

  When I wrote "creators should be able to create things as they see fit" I wasn't really thinking that as allowing them to ignore laws, like safety and such. As for my opinion on copyright laws, I guess I'd be for their abolition. But that is just my opinion that isn't really based on any real knowledge of these laws or what consequences they have/removing them would have. > But if creators get to benefit from government granted monopolies, it's only fair that we introduce some consumer-protection law too. With this I wholeheartedly agree.
