   @dhraakellian: "copyright is a symptom of capitalism." !FS, !CC, & copyleft are legal hacks to treat that symptom. !FK

     @wtebbens @dhraakellian I believe that !fs and !cc are orthogonal to capitalism; they can strive in it and without it.

     @bramalab I misspoke. !FS and !freeculture would survive and thrive, but © (and thus !cc, GPL, et al.) wouldn't be needed to protect them

     @bramalab Starving artist gotta not starve. If the economic system takes care of that, why impose unjust artificial scarcity of ideas?

     @bramalab although, under such a system, why "free software" or "free culture"? Why not just "software" and "culture" in a freed society?

     @dhraakellian indeed, even now I sometimes (not often) wonder whether free prefix harmful. Nonfree is the harmful, abnormal, grotesque side.
