When did anything remove my right to copy data freely anyway? Copyright is an illegitimate joke.

That's an ignorant view of copyright.

I'm a photographer, and I prefer to keep control of my work. I'm glad copyright laws exist to prevent others from using my art without properly gaining consent.

Sure you can feel like you can copy my photos, but then others should be able to copy your source code. After all, it's just data.

As a FOSS activist and kopimist, that is exactly what I believe.
