LOL what about the amounts the banks and bankers stole from us in the last decade and a half? Why don't you complain about that also? I'm sure it dwarfs whatever scammers have stolen in crypto. But you guys hate that you missed your chance. But it's never too late. You can still invest. It's not over yet.
You can't teach me anything at all about the world of crypto, believe me. I'm one of the MtGox creditors, and that has been going on for 10 years now
I got "rich" also, but I've never speculated, and TBH I've sold, and spent, more spent than sold at all kind of valuations, and most of the riches are still unrealized, so, sorry if I doubt what you say.
Steal your repos? So you don't have them anymore because they took them? Maybe ask nicely to have them back and with a bit of luck they'll give them back to you.
This is a sound point, even if it's being made a bit sarcastically. Copyright and intellectual property are an entirely different body of law than property rights, and people most often conflate them as an emotionally charged rhetorical technique that's generally rooted in a dissatisfaction that intellectual property and physical property are treated differently. The use of the word "steal" in this context is probably to incite readers to their cause, but ends up just sounding sophomoric to people that know anything about intellectual property law.
It's a shame because the GP had some valuable information to share about the emails software heritage was sending, but likely got downvoted because of this.
but frankly, it's not the first time. Github (after purchase by microsoft) did the same thing to my code. They reproduced it and put it on ice in some place in norway. That was the guise right? I mean I am sure they did, but you can bet your ass they're also using my code to train their AI.
Most of it was not licensed. It was publicly available as a portfolio so people would see I write serious code and would hire me.
So then I took down my entire github after being informed I was enrolled, couldn't opt out, etc, and then some OTHER foundation is now scanning my self hosted git repos? That made my blood BOIL!
Curiously, the people most vociferous about digital copying of IP not being “theft” tend to be those people who have produced the least amount of original IP.
Surprisingly, the people generating real, novel, IP like to buy groceries now and then.
how does one violate their own copyright? I mean, its my IP, I am free to license, distribute, and so forth as I see fit, there's an implicit "All Rights Reserved".
