It was a reply to DannyBee's post claiming copyright "was not created to help artists or whoever". It starts with "This is 100% inaccurate" which is why I began this the same way.
I note others have since reposted the same links in reply to DannyBee for the same reason.
How it is off topic since it directly addresses that claim?
Did it get detached from the parent, removing context?
It's off-topic because it turned into a tedious back-and-forth in which you became increasingly uncivil. You've done that repeatedly in arguments on HN. Please don't do that.
When comments get aggressive, good conversation flees the room. Such spats also go inevitably off-topic, since how-right-I-am-and-how-wrong-you-are is not a topic.
