Hey Steve, so you do! In the opening paragraph of your article you say something that I think needs closer attention, and which is something I know Minhaaj has been stoking:
"These licenses depend on copyright to work..." Copyright seems to be only of use to institutions, yet copyright is obviously not working all over the Internet, in fact it is blatantly disregarded (thankfully) in most quarters. Is this disregard a form of civil disobedience, and is this disobedience winning us more freedoms through sheer numbers?
