Your situation highlights my philosophical disagreement with Intellectual Property.<p>I think, when you really analyze the basic motivations behind IP, they come down to &#x27;It&#x27;s the law of the jungle.&#x27; aka &quot;Fuck you, pay me&quot;.<p>There are lots of humane laws that take the exigencies of life into account, but there are also laws that the powerful have created to exploit the less powerful. A legal framework that excludes the poor from <i>sharing the ideas</i> of the powerful or wealthy is not an &#x27;enlightened&#x27; law, and therefore I believe anything that can be done to fight it or weaken it&#x27;s enforcement mechanisms is a mitzvah.
