Free dissemination of knowledge that benefits the advancement of mankind should never be illegal.
Free dissemination of knowledge that benefits the advancement of mankind should never be illegal.
When one puts it like that it sure does seem ridiculous, but to me it is obvious that the analogy I am making is purely the fact that something being illegal does not mean it’s immoral.
That’s true but in the context it puts a very bad taste in my mouth.
I really don’t understand why people think they have a moral right to other people’s creations.
That’s a straw man fallacy. That statement removes all the always important context you just alluded to, a statement which was never claimed.
I like that you brought it up though, the original remark, a bit sardonic but that’s okay. It keeps me aware of my own potential generalizations, assumptions, fallacies, and whatnot.
