      Why do you think it's okay to take someone else's work and just copy and paste it wherever?

        easy question, the answer is "because information should be free and readily available for all who seek it".

        I doubt he cares because only his employers benefit from having the article paywalled.

          Okay. It's still a copyright owned by someone and it's not freely licensed to just post wherever. I can't control who assigned whatever copyright to others.

            Who cares?

                Not even reddit-logo cares about reposting articles and has subreddits dedicated to piracy, you're being more reactionary about defending corporations than the corporate site full of ads.

                  Outperforming reddit for bootlicking is definitely some kinda statement...

                  Okay, this has nothing to do with fascism.

                  Edit: Are you asking me to be more like Stormfront? You think that is a winning strategy? Odd move.

                    I agree, it has nothing to do with fascism. Kind of a non sequitur though, because I never mentioned fascism.

                      You mentioned fascists and implied that I should moderate more like they do on their message boards. There's no need for a Godwin's Law hyperbole comment. Honestly.

                        I didn't mean Stormfront, the website for racists, that's just a Hexbear joke name we call Reddit, because it's also a website for racists. More lenient on copyright than you, though.

                          That's a pretty hilarious joke. Anyway, I don't have more to add to this, so you have a nice day.

        Subscribing to the Atlantic won't put any money in Simon Garfield's pocket, but freely sharing his article will provide promotion for his book about the history of Comic Sans. Why do you think it's okay to deny Simon Garfield some potential book sales?

                But it does violate a copyright to post the article, which you claimed to have done. So which did you do, post the article (and commit a COPYRIGHT VIOLATION) or post a link to a paywall?

                  I linked to an article, as I've already stated. If you don't want to pay attention, I don't know why you're here.
