>Why can't everybody legally share and spread knowledge as they please?
This is my whole problem with the idea of copyright, patents, and Imaginary Property laws.
We finally invent ways to share information for basically free planet wide, and a bunch of fuckin lawyers fuck it all up for the exclusive benefit to themselves and the oligarchs who can afford them.
When I was 17 I wrote a TI-85 program for the chemistry class I was in, and sold a copy to a classmate. I only charged $1 because it would have felt awful to chart $50 for something I still had after I "sold" it.
Some laws should be broken because they were created by corrupt governments at the behest of oligarchs.

- NaturalPhallacy 4y agoI mean, I was the only nerd in possibly the whole school with a link cable. So he didn't sell anything. :) But I get your point. If everyone was that generous we'd all be better off. And what better way to spread that message than by walking the walk?
