I can't imagine why people chuckle when someone cries, "You're infringing on my copyright!"

Copyright is an artificial construct, as antiquated as the buggy whip. Those who make their living around it should investigate other plans.

The set of people whose living is built around copyright includes all software developers. If it weren't for the GPL we wouldn't even have Linux as it exists today because the GPL is only possible because of copyright protection. Hell, the only reason the site upon which we are commenting exists is because of the financial incentives enabling the industry for which YC seeks to invest!

I'm quite happy with my career, but thanks for the suggestion.

This is the same crowd that gets out the torches and pitchforks when one website uses CSS that looks kinda like another website.
