My definition of force is the definition of force. The definition I gave you was literally "literal force", and you understood that to mean something different from your interpretation of force. You are the only one trying to change definitions here. If the court orders me to do something, that's force. If you think it's somehow voluntary, then I have a few examples I'd like to ask you about. I have no idea what injury you're referring to.

Yes, we've already established that you don't get the rights to pixels, sounds and ideas, and my creative abilities won't change that.

Pathetic display. There is not only one definition of any word, as you can readily ascertain by consulting a good dictionary, legal or otherwise.

Yes, we've already established that you don't get the rights to pixels, sounds and ideas

We've established that that's what you want, and that you're unwilling to even acknowledge the concept of authorship. Your efforts at rhetorical browbeating are clumsy at best.

But it doesn't matter what your definition is. If your definition of force includes copying, then we're done. That's what I wanted to hear you say. If not, but you want to go after people that copy, then you don't believe that force is only justified in response to force. If you want to tell me about how court orders aren't force, then I'll ask you if they're equally voluntary in a couple situations where they don't benefit you.

That's right, I do not want people to own pixels, sounds and ideas. I don't acknowledge the concept of ownership of something that isn't property. Problem?
