You Can't Copy Artichokes

OK, I'm done with this dense Dutchman. Unless I see some new argument, I won't be replying, as I think I said pretty much everything that needs to be said in my "Twelve Arguments" post and it all kinds of sums up here, Imagine, trying to compare your real-life home-cooking versus a restaurant, with copying/content/commerce issues...

   @catfitz When I'm home cooking, I'm not "stealing" the ability of a restaurant to monetize their services to me.

      @PieterHulshoff Er, that's because you can't copy artichokes, they are naturally perishable and in short supply. What a dumb example.

   @catfitz Being equal is not defined by commonalities, but by the lack of differences. Theft and copyright infringement are not equal.

      @PieterHulshoff It doesn't matter if they aren't "equal". They're not required to be "equal" to be the same in nature. No teach Plato in NL?
