..and you're a lame ass fuck for not being polite in a discussion. You asked
for opinions and I gave you one *via private mail*. No need to be such an
asshole about a difference of opinion.
Is the US gummint definition of what is copyrightable is the standard for merit
in creation? Is merely having a unique "look and feel" the same as a wholly
orignal piece of literature or music? Not even. I didn't realize the
discussion was limited only to what was copyrightable.
I wasn't trying to say that Gonzi desrved to have his page swiped. Certainly
not. But to say that there is no difference between creating a discography and
writing a book is absurd.
don't like public flaming lets all chill out!
