ok got it. I think just because law doesn't recognize something as valuable or worthy of protection, doesn't mean it isn't valuable or worthy of protection. I prefer to aim for the reality and conditions I desire, than accept verbatim what the current reality is even if it's hostile to me and my value.

For example, I think ideas are incredibly valuable as we've discussed. I think theft of them is a norm and then disempowered opinions are conditioned upon the people to make stealing their output easier.

I also share my ideas with companies such as chatting with LLMs but I talk about it because I'm unhappy with it and think I should not forget (and neither should you) that ultimately a valuable asset is being handed to them free. No, actually, I'm paying them for that. And I think that shouldn't be forgotten. When a better alternative is available, or I'm ready, I'm out.
