    Nah mate. Information is free the second it leaves its source. Any attempt to curtail it after then is just a cunt’s trick.

      I imagine you wouldn’t be saying this if it was your work being used.

      If you went through the painstaking effort or writing a book or something, I imagine you’d be pretty unhappy if nobody wanted to reimburse you, and you were called a cunt for wanting to be paid for your labour.

        I work for a living, so I’m used to my work being exploited as a matter of course.

          That’s exactly my point.

          Presumably you’re paid for the work you do, and you shouldn’t have to do it for free, yes?
