Anyway, for the moment these repeated discussions of this subject matter are not advancing any consensus.
A: I am not not hurting anyone, I'm arguing a point.

B: Kenny is the one who introduced inflammatory language. If the law calls it infringement, why can't we agree on it as a neutral term? You don't see me calling it liberation. You also don't see me calling pro life people right win misogynistic anti-freedom asshats and pro choice people satanic baby murderers. Rather than tackle the issue, people kenny disagrees with are being demonized.

If we all stick to the neutral term, the one used in the actual copytight law we could stay at least closer to the topics in these threads instead of having to have this fight over and over. All I'm asking here is to avoid language that is sure to provoke people.
