    I get that you see no value in art, but I thoroughly disagree with your views on that subject. You and i could have had an interesting discussion on how IP laws affects medicine but I’m not gonna have that with you since you are exactly the kind of person who has zero respect for people who make things.

      You’ve completely missed my point. Art has massive value. You’re the one who is so limited you only think in terms of commercial value. IP is wrong. It has no basis in reality. Art should only exist for the sake of itself, not it’s resale value and people should not have to produce art to live. The way we construct our society where art has commercial value is perverse. You’re right. We can’t have a genuine discussion because we do not value human life equally. But I’m not the problem here

      For the record I am an artist myself. I’m simply not disgusting enough to participate in such a vile system and call myself good. Either art exists to be shared and is owned by no one, or it exists for yourself and others "can’t* take it. Anything else is unnatural abuse of your fellow man and using that abuse as your excuse to kill the poor is disgusting

      Pretend we could have had an actual discussion all you want, you were never going to approach this subject with an open mind.
