The problem with Copyright discussions is just that though TG. Some folks have elevated the ownership of an idea to the same levels as religious fervor. And they're down right religious in their desire to not be moved for fear it will loose them their salvation in some way. Best just to smile at the notions of those who disagree with you and move on.

On a very OT Tangent, I was just recently in an online discussion with folks about when was the best time to disclose one's HIV status with someone you were forming a relationship with. That discussion degenerated quite rapidly between the two camps of "I disclose because it's the right and honest thing to do" and "I don't disclose because everyone is responsible for their own health and if I wear a Condom I am not responsible for your health". It ended with some nutjob claiming that disclosure would hurt the children in his family because bullies at school would find out and torment the children til they commited suicide. It was just ludicrous!
