I already had my walk this morning, thanks! If you'd like to learn more about copyright law, including about all the ways it's fuzzy around the edges for legitimate uses like this one, I highly recommend groklaw.net. PJ did wonderful work writing about such boring topics in personable and readable ways. I hope you have a great day!

no thanks, not interested in your american nonsense laws. lecturing people who are asking SOMEONE ELSE a question is a terrible personality trait btw

181 out of 195 countries and counting!

Look at that map!

P.S. Berne doesn't sound like a very American name.

You would really learn a lot from reading Groklaw. Of course, I can't make you. Good luck in the world though!

man, you really are putting a lot of effort into justifying stealing other people's content

Thanks for such great opportunities to post educational content to Hacker News! I genuinely hope some things go your way, man. Rooting for you. Go get 'em.

If you can’t undermine someone’s argument, undermine their nationality. American tech culture doesn’t do this as much as it should, perhaps because we know eventually those folks wake up.

Not sure what your point is, but why would i care to learn about the laws of some other dude's country that he's using to support his bizarro arguments?

> why would i care to learn about the laws of some other dude's country

The website you're attempting to police other people's behavior on is hosted in the country you're complaining about. Lol.

Maybe there is a website local to your country where your ideas would be better received?
