Message: [QUOTE="Waffles, post: 193362, member: 703"] I don't particularly like having to pay for books older than me, some of which are by deceased authors or written before the Cold War. But I accept it as a necessary evil (starving artists and what not). I'm not cool, however, with copyright poachers... Like, did you know that JonTron's ORIGINAL song "You Are Not A Gnome" was copyright-claimed by someone because it sounded a little too close to Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone", even though that's: A) Kind of the fucking point. B) Well within Fair Use. And don't even get me started on companies copyrighting footage or forcing people to either change the pitch of clips or mirror them in order to "fool" prowling bots.
