Well, since you obviously don't give a shit about privacy, can I ask if there is anything about copyright that you consider to be bad at all?

Did you know that in the last 99 years only 1 years...

Sadist, masochist whatever that's not my interest obviously. The point is it's uncivil to address people like that when they didn't do anything to you first. So just like you think my privacy isn't...

Even if I was to grant you that (which I don't, there are private trackers) that's not the only protocol that people use to send files.

Okay but what does that have to do with whether or not people can communicate privately? You said it's not cut and dry but either you can or you can't. You either have privacy or you have none.

I'm not going to kiss the ass of someone who calls me a criminal several times now. You don't even know me lady. Respect is a two way street and I've only been polite to you and the other people in...

I'm sure you probably think your ability to acquire profit is more important than any silly thing like privacy or other people. Perhaps other people will begin to see the wisdom in that.

Great, then do that and keep your beak out of my private communications and maybe I'll be more respectful of your right to make money off of smut.

It's not considered a violation of intellectual property rights now, but at the time it was frowned upon. I already said that in my opinion artists should be credited and paid but that's not to be...

Torrent files don't contain copyright protected material.

Well, maybe dinosaurs shouldn't have gone extinct and your car should tip over when the drive through waitress puts food on it like in the opening credits to the Flintstones.

That's not up to me. But even if there is no valid business model to adopt, then find another business and don't infringe on the right and privacy of others. Some things become obsolete, you can't...

You probably don't think the best way to insure that artists are paid is to remove existing right and sue people even if you believe that it is important. Personally I wouldn't mind just being taxed...

Agreed, there is a difference, but as I said we don't always think people should be paid. I may do many things that I believe I should be paid for, others may not agree.


Our understanding of...

You can whine about moral relativism all you like. The facts are undeniable. That's how people behave.

Ongoing sustainable profit like what, rent? The designer doesn't retain any copyrights at all, they certainly don't get royalties. That's not how it works.

You never heard of anyone selling a house before?

I think there's quite a difference between property and "intellectual property" which I don't even consider to be a valid concept. If you take my property then I don't have it anymore.

There may...

Many use words like "thief" and "pirate" but when enough people feel that it’s okay to do something, that thing ceases to be wrong in their own cultural context. That's just the way it is.

In my...

It's a difficult question to answer because it presupposes that if I wrote a book I would charge people to read it. I would only write a book if I thought it contained important information and I...

I know you can't copyright ideas and words but they are the product of someone's effort and you don't believe that you owe money simply for that fact.

Nobody believes that they should never use other people's ideas without paying them money. If you believed that then you wouldn't even be able to talk because you didn't invent the words you are...

I don't really believe in copyright in it's existing form, sorry. I think it has no basis in reason except to secure finances at the expense of guaranteed popular rights.

I'm glad I use irc.

The dating world is the final bulwark of acceptable overt racism in society.

It's possible that's more the exception than the rule though. But if this is about you then maybe your asshole isn't getting enough exposure. You should get it more into the public eye.
