Your actions are controlled by their consequences, not cops. You go to work, like everyone else. You are civil to people - because you choose - and keep your job. Your freedom is a false illusion and can be boiled down to statistics, your zip code, age, IQ, etc. Even your advocacy of uncaused agency is, itself, fully caused, reinforced, shaped and controlled . And I never said evolution is exclusively a reference to…

All of that is so wildly off base and off-topic from the argument at hand: People can do what they want unless you or someone else physically stops them. > I can police English if I am as free as you say I am.

You originally wrote that extortion of funds is an ongoing pervasive issue: > In general, the racketeers will ask for a fee whether they have rights to the IP or not. They play the numbers counting on people not calling their bluff, and googles limited 3 strikes policy on channel publishers. The three links you provided are all about the same, single, extreme case - from seven years ago - that ended with YouTube suin…
