    I have always been in both camps.

    I have always held to a strict code of, “make no profit”.

    I share what I have, and sell nothing. not even at cost.

    IP rights are important, but there is zero harm sharing IP freely. it’s no different than watching a movie from a public library.

    Once you start selling though, is when you cross a line of profiting off of someone else’s hard work.

    AI crossed that line.

      That’s a good framework, and I appreciate you sharing it, because I realise that aligns with how I think about this too — I just hadn’t put it into such succinct words as you just have

      Oh I’d never sell stuff like that. I never even thought that was a thing. I guess that’s how we are different from billionaire scum.

        I had a couple friends that would burn movies and sell them $5 a pop. they were on my “do not share” list. I did that mostly as a way to distance myself from the “inevitable” criminal charges.
