Exactly. Having "thought crime" so that one person can say "I thought of this first, therefore you have no right to think it or derive anything from it without my permission, you
THEIF" is the polar opposite of fostering creativity. It is strangling creativity.
Some of us seem to have complete opposites in philosophies of life. For some, producing non-physical "stuff" (be it sounds, patterns of light, words) is a means to an ends of making money. But for others,
the production and sharing of ideas and "art" is the ends itself. Those kinds of people produce things because they are passionate about it, and because they want to "give back" to society for all the great "stuff" that they enjoy.
I'm perfectly fine with seeing the end of the first group if we keep the second.
And in the spirit of giving-- if you like any of my photos, you can do anything you want with them
for free. Or if you insist on spending money, send the 25 bucks to kennyc and I'm sure he'll be willing to make the $4 prints of them just like he is with his photos. (How's that business going for 'ya, kennyc?)
