Well, I said they should be forced to make their work free content only if it can be done legally, which would make it quite distinct from robbery, which is illegal.
I find it interesting though that'd you'd equate enforcement of trademark law to robbery.
There is legal and there is right, and you shouldn't confuse the two.
I think I've been incredibly careful during this discussion in distinguishing between the two. In my opinion it's always right to force someone to release their work under a free license. Only some of the time it's legal, though.
That is horrifying. Is this idea prevalent in any particular demographic sector that you consider yourself a part of?
