> Do you think that you have a claim on ownership of the data because you drove by, saw what you liked, and decided that now you'll just rip the baton out of my hand?

Are you just trolling at this point?

_You are handing the baton over_ in an HTTP response. If you don't want to do that, then change the logic of your server.

Good grief man.




Then any store is handing over the baton because you can walk in, take merchandise off the shelf, and walk out.


That's not at all what's happening here. This is me walking in, with a polite and well-formed request, regarding a piece of merchandise: "May I have <item>?"

And the store, clearly and with a signed receipt, saying, "Here is the item you requested. Have a nice day."
