    I feel the same way about people applying terms like “theft” to events of intellectual property misuse like copying another artist’s art style, reusing another comedian’s jokes, etc. Those things are problems of their own, but should not be called “theft”.

      Gatekeeping technology is a personal irritation of mine.

      The famicom and capacitor electrolytes should not belong to individual companies, they belong to all of humanity.
