I fucked with the title a bit. What i linked to was actually a mastodon post linking to an actual thing. but in my defense, i found it because cory doctorow boosted it, so, in a way, i am providing the original source here.

please argue. please do not remove.

    Copyright doesn’t care if the writer is unaware of the source material because intent doesn’t matter.

      intent does matter for fair use claims, and knowledge matters for bare infringement.
