    why would you contribute to making the Internet a worse place by enforcing copyright?

    you basically posted a blank wall for people to stare at. meanwhile the user you are upset with contributed what you should have in the first place.

      It’s not a blank wall: if you want to read it, you can do so legitimately. There’s no reason to rehost someone else’s work. How would you feel if you worked hard on something and someone just decided “I can copy it and paste it wherever I want”?

        I’d feel fine, I don’t write for the purpose of making money, I write because it makes me happy. When I get paid for writing I get paid no matter the amount of clicks I get. All my art is released under Creative Commons or whatever the fuck it’s called. Why should I be anything other than happy that some internet hobbyists decided to share my work? You’re acting like this person is being robbed of something

          I also release everything creative I’ve ever done to the public: that’s my choice. The author of the piece didn’t make that choice. Why is it wrong to respect that?

          It’s really cool that that is what you choose to do. Neat.
