> I can't tell if you're saying "we shouldn't do this" or "we don't need to
worry about getting sued", so I'll answer both.
Actually I was writing about how you should not do that out of decency. I
couldn't care less if you get sued or not. It might sound cold, but apart
from people who do get a share of whatever you are trying to achieve, nobody
would care less or more than me.
> If you're saying I shouldn't risk violating their copyrights by doing this,
you should head over to pretty much every reverse engineering project in
existence and let them know that they need to stop. I checked the instruction
manual for my Nexus S, and there's a note saying I may not reverse engineer
the proprietary components of it. That is completely unenforceable; it's my
device and they have no authority over me.
I never wrote something about a copy right. I just pointed out somebody is
willing you do NOT do that. And that somebody seems to be the author.
The rest is just junk argument.
> If you get a copy of something, it's your copy, and *you should have the
freedom to do whatever you want with it*. It's the natural extension of the
rights we have with physical goods; copyright is an unfair artificial
monopoly.
That's plain stupid. I marked the section. The following just justifies you
own petty actions.
