Just ignore these HN folk about copyright as they clearly don't have a clue about it and all they can do is complain about it.
What they want is for you to be very happy about you getting ripped off by them whilst they infringe and grift on your work for free with zero credit.
- hyggetrold 3y agoGenerally speaking I do but when I see a top comment like that I feel compelled. It’s honestly somewhat schizophrenic on HN sometimes. You’ll read comments on one article and everybody goes full-bore Bay Area tech bro libertarian - no regulation, ever!!! And then in literally the next comment thread everybody is up in arms because why isn’t there government protection around this vitally important issue?!? Come on Uncle Sam! I’m old enough to know that I’m dealing with people and so there’s no reason to expect anyone to make sense or be consistent. But I’ll be darned if I don’t feel the cognitive dissonance from time to time.
- grandma_tea 3y agoIt's not inconsistent. Different articles attract different commenters.
- hyggetrold 3y agoMmm I’ve been on this site for over a decade and it is definitely inconsistent. Hang around and you will see it too. Like I said I don’t mind.
- grandma_tea 3y agoI think you mistake my meaning. I'm saying the HN audience is not a hive mind. Different articles attract different commenters which have different opinions.
- hyggetrold 3y agoNo, I got exactly what you meant. And I stand by what I said.
