I care, simply because i don't KNOW about it. Like, my opinion is shit here because nobody was ripping me off (and who would, I have nothing to rip off) but what would this forum be without everyone posting their opinions about everything? I agree with Robb in that the actual copying of content is not the issue. What is the issue for me (or would be the issue for me if anyone bothered to steal from me) is just not knowing about it. If some guy pops up and says "Hey, I thought htat was funny, can I use it?" I'd be all, "sure! as long as I have credit, and put meyemail down or something would you?" If he sais "Er, actually, I wanted to say that I wrote it myself" well, then, i probably still wouldn't mind all that much. Hey, it's flattery! If people think what I'm writing is good enough to be ripped off then i guess I'd better start taking things more seriously. (But it isn't, so I don't. Whew! Thank gOd for that, dodged a bullet there.) If some guy needs the boost to impress his friends or help pass a test or what-have-you I could give a shit, i'm not trying to sell anything or command some sort of el33t army of netizens by the shit I put on here. But i'd just like to know about it. And i"d like to know where it is, sotthat I c acn check it out, and see if someone responds to it in some way I hadn't expected. I enjoy that kind of thing very much. I'm a little put-out that all of these people were enjoying the content over THERE and not over HERE where tehy could contribute, but knowing this forum we'd probably make them run away crying when they ask us what TV to buyt o something.
