Copyright

[Doktor Howl]

There was a conversation in the IRC channel about copyright earlier. I was curious what you all think.

1.  I think we've had this discussion 5 times since January.

2.  I think you're a complete fucking shitneck.  Thanks to you, Charley pulled down his story-in-progress.  I was enjoying reading that, and you fucked it up.  Way to break it, hero.  Now, fuck off.

He decided to remove the story. Not me. I can't be held responsible for what he does with his own story.
If he removed his whole story just because one person advocated copyright reform, he should have removed the story along time ago. There are thousands of us on the internet and anyone can read what is posted here.

You're a thief.  When a thief is around, you lock up your stuff.

Remember, kids!  Artists and musicians do what they do for the sheer joy of it!  They don't need to make a living!  Property is theft!  RAAAAAAAAAWK!

I never said artists shouldn't be able to make a living. Please read my post again and review what I'm defending.

Pirates had access to his story well before I came around. Anyone could have come here, copied the post, and put it on megaupload. Just because I'm here now shouldn't make a difference.

Hush, thief.

Hush, thief.

No.

[Doktor Howl]

Hush, thief.

No.

Yes.

And I wonder why you specifically mentioned megauploads?  I suppose I'll go check.  If it's there, you won't be here.

I mentioned megaupload because everyone knows megaupload. It was a good example.
I think you are implying I copied Charley's book and put it on megaupload.

I did not. I have never even read it.

If you do find his book on megaupload (which would surprise me, as it sounds like too obscure a book to be pirated), it could have been anyone who put it online. Anyone can upload files to that site for free without registering.

Edit: Also, why would anyone pirate a book they could already read on this forum for free?

1.  I don't believe you.  You're a thief, after all.

2.  They can't read it for free anymore.  Because of you.

That's not the point. It was free. Before, anyone could read it for free. There would be no reason to pirate it.

I know a guy who steals for the hell of it.

From what you wrote in chat, you're like that yourself.

Just for my clarification, are we talking Native Americans, or citizens of India?
