nice

I don't need a bipolar hero, I pity anyone who does, and the icon was changed already after you complained.

Sorry! I thought it was heavily ironic! Because Kanye does so much for representation. Please give me another icon and I will switch to it. I don't want to chase everyone off. (edit: I changed it and I hope this is better)

Most people will have to learn the hard way when their own ideas are sold cheaper elsewhere until they understand that it is better to support the original and the actual creator

Or they won't learn because the number of people who create the type of media that a corporation would want to steal is ultimately very few and those people can merely be talked over. There is absolutely no reason to believe that information is both available and timely.

The current system we have is harmful to small creators. I release a lot of music under a pay-whatever model (almost all of it actually), but I would hate to be forced to do that. Five or ten years is reasonable, and there should be no such thing as "criminal" copyright infringement -- it should be a tort only. I think that's a fairly reasonable, even libertarian, compromise that doesn't head too far into idealism. I really need to be paid for my work, y'see. Or paid for no reason, that's fine too.

Am okay today (and yesterday, when you asked)

Have you ever heard of a man named Leroy Jenkins?

My favorite joke in that is actually "32.33 repeating, of course"

Okay now I can post here from this other instance.... but I can't see other comments ?

I never actually go, oop
