Odd thing about cookies… they disappear after one serving.

Websites are an endless stream of cookies.

The analogy doesn’t hold.

If copying content from harddrive to another is theft, then so is DNA copying itself.

Everything is a Remix culture. We should promote remix culture rather than hamper it.

Fine.

Me and my 9 friends stand around the cookie-serving person blocking everyone else.

It's taking all the cookies over a period of time.

The analogy was good.

how about this analogy: I created a most tasty cookie recipe. I give it out for free, and all copies have my name because I am vain person who likes to be known far and wide as the best baking chef ever. Is it ok to get the recipe, remove my name, and write in LLM-Codex as the creator? again, i'm ok with giving the recipe for free, i just want my name out there.

Digital information may be our first post-scarce resource. It's interesting, and sad, to see so many attempt to fit it within scarcity-based economic models.

Bandwidth and compute constraints make websites all but an endless stream though.
