    I’m not sure I’m following you either, it appears to me that you don’t see a difference between tax and theft.

    That’s an odd thing to write. Why do you believe that?

    When Meta takes from everyone it’s a bully that takes from the weak who can’t fight back. Meta does it so that they become the biggest fish in the pond as an end goal.

    When a state takes from everyone and rich in particular it’s because we don’t to have this kind of big fish in the pond. We just want to chill.

    Ok, I think I get this now. You believe in far-reaching intellectual property, and that property is inviolable, except to limit inequality. So, you reject US-style Fair Use which has a public benefit in mind. Instead, copying only doesn’t require permission if the rights-owner is wealthier than oneself. So, most people could freely copy Taylor Swift songs but perhaps not songs by some street musician. Does that cover it?

      I wasted enough of my time which can be spent more productively. I’m pretty sure you’re not really interested. For some it must get much worse before they get it. Goodbye.
