I had issue with your choice of word,
not your intention. Your intentions
were clear from the beginning to want
better copyright law.

Paraphrasing your post was not meant
to misrepresent your intent or to allow
me to launch a strawman attack on your
intent. Paraphrasing was only to focus
on the word "contribute".

The choice of the word "contribute" only
reinforces the propaganda that copyright
is a Natural Right, rather than the legally
created invention that it is. That was
my only point.

But my point about language has been lost
in everyone's reaction to my delivery.

My delivery was out of line,
and for that I'm sorry.
