Taking away freedom is always about "saving children's lives". It's so common in fact that the instant one hears about "saving children's lives" we can be certain something very bad is going to happen.
- johngalt_ 4y agoI am not a big fan of copyright myself, but calling being unable to use someone else's story for yourself "taking away your freedom" is a bit too much.
