Wow downvoters, it's ok to have an opinion like this!
- jblow 12y agoIt is suspiciously posted by an account that was just created and is even named "throwaway". Downvotes are fully justified.
- vidarh 12y agoIt's ok, and I didn't downvote, but it's an extreme viewpoint, so it is unsurprising that he's been downvoted. He is promoting a view of copyright that extends far past the rights granted by any extant copyright system, in a forum where a lot of us are very aware of how much of culture is constant remixing and borrowing, or outright "stealing" of past content that has only been possible because copyright law is not nearly as exclusionary as the property law principles he seems to believe should apply (and as I pointed out elsewhere, in his other comments he hints at support for a degree of control which does not even apply to any property law system in the world) .
