Lemme see if I get this:
If I copy your shit as my own, that's plagiarism and it's bad.
But when I copy everyone's shit and run it through a mystery box that rearranges it until it barely makes sense, that's futuristic technology.
And if I take your shit and sell it, that's copyright violation and it's bad.
But when I make a place for people to post their shit and I just sell *access* to it so the mystery box people can have it, that's a viable business model.
Makes perfect sense.
@fraying A young artist spends a month visiting the Louve studying the great works of the past then using what they learned creates and sells original art work. #ThisIsTheWay
Somebody programs a computer to do the same task. #Copyright infringement!!!
