SSG Carlos Madden , I felt his original response, or rant, didn't contribute to the video or my question and said so. He said some things, said more things, I said my second comment, and meanwhile he was sterilizing his profile. He also blocked me.

Great point! Copyrights seem to be just a lawyers' full employment act.

I have always thought it that, as an engineer, every time I created a product or process and was paid for it the deal was complete; I did not get paid again every time someone used my product or process. Why is artistic intellectual property valued differently from engineering intellectual property?
