    Giving away my own artwork is tyranny, says someone very serious about word use.

    If your FOSS NES is in the Torah

    And drug use.

    Like people writing all your precious literature weren’t doing labor, because they didn’t invent the letters.

      Sharing your art, or keeping it yours only is your choice indeed. But numbers are not art, and your desire to monopolize who gets to copy numbers or not demonstrates your desire to privatize numbers: which is tyranny.

      You can request compensation for writing indeed, but you have to ask yourself if you are willing to censor others’ press to copy your writings. At what point are you willing to use violence to maintain that monopoly?

      Publishers have already chosen to use the states to sue to slavery for those rents.

        Digital art doesn’t count unless I own the number 7, apparently.

        Letters are not art, therefore, no work of art has ever been written.

        Fuck off.

          You can digitize your art indeed, but the corresponding number it ends becoming, doesn’t belong to you, or your demand to monopolize its usage.

          Letters are art, as scripts and calligraphy are. Demanding compensation under no jurisdiction than your own is tyranny.

          Fuck off.

          Enjoy your slavery, prole.
