This is a rant. If you don’t want to read it, there are other posts… or you can go to The Doll Forum, My wpForo forum, or go find yourself a new sweetheart at Mon Amour Toujours.
This is from some whiney-ass people from some emo-ass website (Deviant Fart) complaining about “copyright” and spreading FUD about the copyright violations.
The blog is called “Skinny Artist” and has a title of “Stop stealing my shit!” What “shit”? What, exactly, are we “stealing”? If you have no proof, stop telling us to do something we are not doing.
This quote is golden… but wrong!
Imitation is the highest form of pissing me off. Quit stealing my content and violating my copyright. ~Jen T. Verbumessor
Who the fuck are you, “Jen T. Verbumessor”? Do you know what the fuck you’re talking about? I’m sorry… you whiney bitches need to learn what copyright really is. Many ideas are actually built upon previous ideas.
And disabling right-click, using asinine CSS to overlay a transparent PNG over a picture are worthless. You’re doing nothing but pissing off your visitors. YOU stop with the draconian bullshit.
I might use other pictures from other sites on this one. But I am always able to either:
obtain permission from the original creator.
If 1 is not possible, or if for fair use purpose, be certain to attribute WHICH site it came from with full URL and related info in a caption.
It’s not stealing. What, have you been drinking the Microsoft Kool-Aid? I remember Bill Gates’ whining in PC World in 1982(?) saying
Come on guys, I think that it’s time we started paying for software. Sharing copies with other is bad.
That asshole started a revolution that, with Richard M. Stallman, who got infuriated over that remark from some whiney little rich kid who started in the PC business… because rms knew that before Bill Gates even uttered that snide remark, sharing code was essential. But Bill Gates made it so… start paying or you’re a criminal.
Linux is free, yes, but in most instances. I even have a Linux distro available for download here. If you’d like to shoot a few hundred thousand Satoshi for work well done, or PayPal me a few bucks… I’ll post my Bitcoin wallet and PayPal.me addresses if there’s enough interest for that. But the Microsoft has respawned their Embrace, Extend and Extinguish tactic from back then when SCO (Santa Cruz Organization) sided with Microsoft in 1999 with the WSL (Windows Subsystem – Linux) thing in Windows 10. No, no, no a billion times NO! Ubuntu is available for download in the Microsoft Store in 2018 now! What the fuck???
Problem is, it is NOT Linux at its heart. It’s the Windows 10 kernel (WinNT?) with the GNU userspace and other things on top. Yeah, apt-get, dpkg, and many other Debian/Ubuntu-based commands in bash work… but will GTK/Qt/Wayland/whatever GUI apps work? Or is it only bash CLI? And since Windows does not use the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) like Linux does, how will most Linux executables even run?
But back to the original topic. A lot of sites extoll the virtues of disabling right-click like it must be done. No, it is an abuse of JavaScript. Many banks do this… and why? “Durrrr…. security issues. People can brute-force passwords that way.” Yeah. Bullshit. Chase did that shit on their online banking when I was their customer. I have Jamie Dimon some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale if he comes up with a good reason other than that. (He’s under fire for lambasting Bitcoin, but that’s another show.) I had a password manager in Linux that was part of the entire system, not just Firefox, Chrome/Chromium but was a Seahorse (aka “Passwords and Keys”) plugin that worked as a decent password manager. But when I tried to log in with the password created for me… which worked the first time… then after that… “You don’t have permission to right-click here.” Look here, JPMorgan Chase. You DON’T tell me what I DON’T have permission on MY OWN COMPUTER to do. If I want to right-click, you don’t override my browser to comply with your bullshit. I paid for my computer. I maintain it myself.
And don’t tell me it’s in the name of “security” or “copyright protection” that you absolutely have to use JavaShit to disable right-click.
And for the latter non-justification?
If you don’t want people to steal your stuff, don’t put it on the Internet.
