The concept is a bit esoteric. The alphabet is in the public domain. An

Copyright is also a bit illogical and untenable.. unless you'd

like to see the vast majority of the population in jail for

such trivial activities as filesharing.



Tell me, at what point does a bitstring start to qualify as

an original arrangement of bits?

Is that creative? Or is it only creative if the bitstring is

the result of pressing the shutterbutton on a digital camera?





You are trying to justify stealing and are a leach.


Filesharing and photoshop compositing have nothing to do
