I don't see any sarcasm from me in the thread. I had serious questions. Perhaps you could point out what you see? Thanks for the supportive words about the project.

  Perhaps I misread "Maybe take a walk and get some fresh air?" - no worries though.

    I've certainly seen people say similar things facetiously, but I was being genuine. I'm not sure if beeboobaa was trolling or not, I try to take what folks say at face value. They seemed to be pretty attached to a particular point of view, though. Happens to all of us. The thing for attachment is time and space and new experiences. Walks are great for those things, and also the best for organizing thoughts. Einstein loved taking walks for these reasons, and me too. It feels better to suggest something helpful when discussion derails, than to hurl insults as happens all too frequently.

  Literally all you did is bitch and moan about someone asking a simple question, lol. Go touch grass.

    I already had my walk this morning, thanks! If you'd like to learn more about copyright law, including about all the ways it's fuzzy around the edges for legitimate uses like this one, I highly recommend groklaw.net. PJ did wonderful work writing about such boring topics in personable and readable ways. I hope you have a great day!

      no thanks, not interested in your american nonsense laws. lecturing people who are asking SOMEONE ELSE a question is a terrible personality trait btw

        If you can’t undermine someone’s argument, undermine their nationality. American tech culture doesn’t do this as much as it should, perhaps because we know eventually those folks wake up.

        Not sure what your point is, but why would i care to learn about the laws of some other dude's country that he's using to support his bizarro arguments?

        > why would i care to learn about the laws of some other dude's country The website you're attempting to police other people's behavior on is hosted in the country you're complaining about. Lol. Maybe there is a website local to your country where your ideas would be better received?

        181 out of 195 countries and counting! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention Look at that map! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Berne_Convention_signatories.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Berne_Co... P.S. Berne doesn't sound like a very American name. You would really learn a lot from reading Groklaw. Of course, I can't make you. Good luck in the world though!
