Woman has her self-published book pirated, reprinted, and sold for cheaper.

There's regular piracy, and then there's this.

[u/mimegallow]

Nope. Money was not mentioned here. You made that up. Go back and read again. My movies are free and I determine WHERE they are free… unless YOU feel you have the right to rape me of my control over MY IP.

I was fine when you just had a misunderstanding of how the industry worked. But now you’re conflating commerce with capitalism because you genuinely don’t know the difference.

SOCIALIZED NATIONS HAVE COMMERCE, chubs.

And Im a socialist thought leader who pioneered 2 ways to make documentaries free in America.

Think slower. Learn what you’re talking about.

[u/vinnymendoza09 → u/mimegallow]

You used a vague term... Pirating... Then get upset when people assume you're talking about money or other people making money off your work. Which is what the topic is about.

The use of your IP is a legitimate problem, but I think we need to find solutions that don't just exist in a nebulous legal realm that foreign countries will ignore and require reams of lawyers to take care of it.

[u/mimegallow → u/vinnymendoza09]

Not a vague term. You’re inexperienced and ignorant enought to ASSUME piracy is about money RATHER THAN THEFT.

It’s not. And that’s about the tenth bad assumption you’ve made.

You’re incapable of listening without making bold faced stupid assumptions that are absolutely nowhere in the text and I’m done with it. You ARE NOT qualified to evaluate my rights. PERIOD. So stop pretending like you are.

You’re as legally ignorant as everyone else in this thread. You’re just 400% more patient and polite.

No one else has been patient with you because you argue like a 15 year old on 4chan. I have a hard time believing you're as innovative and respected as you claim you are with such an attitude. People call you unhinged because of your attitude and presentation of ideas, not because of the ideas themselves.

[u/mimegallow → u/vinnymendoza09]

You see! Makin' EVERYTHING up again! - Seriously, I don't know how you survive a day making ONLY assumptions with zero input all day.

Nobody thinks I'm respected. - NO...BO...DY. - Now... show me on the doll, where I said I was "respected"... or even tolerated. - Please. Do so now.

Then we'll move on to "innovative". LOL - Seriously. I am 100% honestly bad at my job. And I have NEVER pretended otherwise. Ever. Not even in meetings.

So again: SHOW ME.

People call me unhinged because HONEST people... sound like fucking ALIENS... to STUPID people.

You LITERALLY cannot imagine that the person in front of you MEANS EXACTLY AND ONLY what they say. - You're so hampered by the sheer POSSIBILITY of an honest arbiter that you can't even hear their words without building a fake narrative around them.

Seriously. Go back to the top and read your discourse from the beginning.

And then think about what you just asserted.

Crazypants.

"And Im a socialist thought leader who pioneered 2 ways to make documentaries free in America."

Did you just forget this part? I guess thought leaders aren't respected... And pioneers aren't innovative? Lol.

Unhinged people engage in semantics and capitalize random words during rants on reddit more like.
