I said I was not making an argument about scraping, just that "copying doesn't deprive anyone else" does not capture the pain point the people building websites

I said I was not making an argument about scraping, just that "copying doesn't deprive anyone else" does not capture the pain point the people building websites complain about.
the rest of what you wrote is a combination of marxism--why can't society cooperate to meet my needs!?--and laissez-faire capitalism--bastards think they can use technology against me, I'll use it against them--neither of which either is a good way to run an economy.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoHow the Hell did you get two wildly different economic beliefs from what I wrote? And is that meant to be some sort of “gotcha”?
- fsckboy 3y agoI got it the same place you got your long discursive answer to my only point, where I was simply saying "the copying is not theft because you still have your copy" argument is not adequate to explain the disagreement over scraping. don't worry, we don't "gotcha" here, we got you, brother!
