    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.

      “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.
