Indeed.

While I often disagree with (even dislike) your posts, you make me
challenge what I think and "know". It is all too easy to form a dislike
for the poster instead of the facing the hard work - choosing to either
address or ignore the issues the poster has presented. I.e. avoiding an
argumentum ad hominem. I strive to learn, so I say again, time will
tell.

And without any significant losses or gains in value of any nature.

I missed the first part of this thread. What are your terms and
conditions?

Like:

1. What's mine is mine.

2. What's yours is mine if I like it.

3. I get to change horses in the middle of any stream, but you can't.

/Et cetera/?

I get it. You are an omphaloskeptic, no more, no less.

Cheers!

No you don't.

Besides which, you used the word "intellectual".... none exists.

Sobriquet's position is that he can appropriate the work of others
under the misapprehension that his "human rights" allow him to do so.

Using his logic, if you take a plot of land and cultivate it, plant
seeds in it, fertilize it, water it, weed it, and produce a crop of
vegetables that he has the right to take those vegetables for his own
use.

He claims that the photographs or other files are accessible to him on
the web and that if you didn't want him to have them you would not put
them up on the web. In the analogy of the vegetable garden, his
position would be that if you didn't want him to take the vegetable
you would fence the garden and lock them up. He doesn't see that a
copyright is the equivalent of a locked fence.

You can be assured, though, if Sobriquet was the gardener, that he
would squeal like a stuck pig if you took the fruits of his labor.

Human rights are limited by laws, customs, and expectations of ethical
behavior. Even a savage in a remote jungle where laws do not pertain
understands that an individual's rights are limited by custom.
Sobriquet has not even advanced to the level of savage.

Well said. I like your analogy. Human rights don't necessarily entail
encroachment on the rights of others - even if only implied.
