  • I said what I wanted to say. I didn't ask for your opinion.

  • I presented exactly as much support for my position as you for yours

  • That means we'd have no more professionally produced movies, series, books, songs, games, etc., but would be stuck with what's essentially fan art.

    we had professionally produced songs and books and games and plays before copyright. you are making that up.

  • without copyright standing in your way, it is a cinch.

  • you can still sell your book

    you can still sell your song.

    but your song can be a remix. your book can be a retelling of a popular story.

    you can still make money. you just can't stop other people from making money. that is all copyright does, and it is wrong. it destroys culture.

  • As an artist I want to be able to tell where my work is used and where not.

    that would be nice. a government-enforced monopoly isnt an ethical vehicle to achieve your goal.

  • That would make it harder for creative people to produce things and make money from it

    no, it would make it easier.

    it would be harder to stop people from making money on creative works.

  • you have no basis for these accusations. you have no idea what I know or what I care about.

  • what I said is that animal welfare laws and humane slaughter laws are the norm in the western world. I said nothing about legality of factory farming implying morality. I'm saying there are legal restrictions to ensure it is humane.

  • if you have something to say, say it. what I said is true.

  • I'm not a cow and I somehow doubt you are a veterinarian

  • the only way for meat to become more ethical across the whole industry is for the demand for meat to go down massively (or the supply is reduced by legislation).

    this presupposes that ethical production is not the norm despite animal welfare laws and humane slaughter being the norm in the entire developed world, and also shows a great lack of imagination and a misunderstanding of economic theories.

    industry creates is own demand. you aren't going to stop big meat by buying beans. there use no amount of beans you can buy that will change how many head of cattle a rancher keeps.
