Who sows virtue reaps creative commons

And the LORD shall destroy the destroyers of the copyright watermark.

Copyleft is the playfield of Satan

[Cain]

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they are protected by copyright laws

[Cain]

Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is copyrighted.

[Cain]

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has copyright lawyers on his side.

Al Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly they will cease their foolish copyleft jihad.

[Cain]

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by copyright litigation, which is the bitterest.

[Cain]

All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of copyright, to determine the true hierarchy of values

[Cain]

A specter is haunting Europe - the specter of copyleftism.

MAGNETS.  HOW DO THEY COPYRIGHT?

[Cain]

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts mirroring those of the copyright lawyer.

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.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all copyrights are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that RIAA might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave musicians, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the intellectual property which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that copyright, under God, shall have another 70 years-- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not infringe upon it.
