it's immoral to prevent people from sharing tools or stories or songs or skills. i'm entitled to enjoy whatever someone wants to share with me.

No you're not if it's infringing on someone's copyright and you would agree with me if you ever created something you were trying to sell to make a living.

copyright is an immoral government-enforced monopoly.

How do creatives make money if everyone is free to copy their work?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

by selling it or taking commissions.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

yes. this isn't a contradiction at all.

Ok, so you're either an idiot or a troll.
