A wonderful article as usual. I had been unaware of the existence of the WTFPL, as well the nuances of the various other licenses, but I wholeheartedly agree with your expressed views. Copyright is a problem both because it inhibits freedom and progress ("standing on the shoulder of giants"), and because it's a petty and silly concept in an expanding, infinite universe where every possible idea has likely

already been expressed in every possible way, accidentally or otherwise, somewhere or another, an infinite amount of times.

The second ED quote is the first time I laughed at that website in ten years. I remember sending random Omegle users to nimp under the guise of a Justin Bieber fansite, which is the most 2010s edgy preteen thing I can think of. I hope God forgives all the childhoods I ruined. Except there is no god. And I can sin whenever I want.

koshka: Abject codswallop, that. Should you ever create anything marketable and suffer either plagiarism or commercial piracy, you might comprehend the necessity of copyright, which is intended to preserve attribution and reasonably remunerative conditions.

Corporate subversion of copyright is the problem, and that common inability to secern it from copyright as initially intended -- which is neither antinomic nor significantly constrictive of freedom or progress -- bespeaks the difference between a functional liberal praxis and the inanity of millennial libertarianism.

That poll was SO rigged. Miley Cyrus never did anything important.

Froge, alas, if only the GNAA were still around, then maybe a live Nimp.org would still be hosted somewhere. Robert, remember that we're on the Internets -- copyright doesn't apply here. :^) Also, she was Hannah Montana, you know...

You may as well rank Stalin inferior to Carly Rae Jepsen. Grow up.
