I have a dog named zeety, his eyes are small and beady.
I just wrote that original poem. I'm charging $1,000 for anybody who wants to read it. You've read it now, so you'd better pay up. Don't you dare rob me of my right to that $1,000!
I accept crypto payments, you can pay in installments of $100 per month if you need. I'll be expecting you to pay up immediately. You're not a hypocrite, are you?
Let's see how serious you are about the things you claim to believe. That poem is my intellectual property according to you, and you are a thief stealing it from me if you don't pay what I demand for it.
Let's make this interesting, you pay me $1,000 for that poem, I will post screenshots verifying that I donated every dollar to various open source projects, 100% dead serious, I won't keep a single cent of it.
Screw it, if you just pay $100 for that poem, I'll donate 100% of it to various open source projects.
Your move.
Lol, no. I'm not paying for that poem. You just published it on a public forum. Besides, I don't want it. I'm not going to copy it or distribute it. If I want what you made and you put a price on it, I either pay for it or go do something else. Your example doesn't make any sense and I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you any further.
I'll leave it here. IP doesn't exist. If it's digital it should be free. Follow that to its logical end and maybe we arrive at the same reality.
Well you just stole that from me, at least from your worldview, if I were you, I would be calling the cops right about now.
The fact that you think that's crazy proves my point.
I'm done arguing this, it's obvious you either don't understand how illogical your position is, or you don't care.
