Hey great argument guys! I want in...
I think the point Caedes was trying to make is... by putting "Copyright Focus" on a little diagram posted on a backwater internet forum full of users very familiar with the Epicurean paradox without so much as mentioning the great thinker himself (or the raft of thinkers that have developed it since) grates a little on the sensibilities.
As we all know copyright is designed to protect intellectual property, especially to ensure financial security for the originator. The fact Focus placed "c Focus" on it suggests he believes it was somehow elevated above the status a 30 minute click-fest on gliffy or similar and has produced something with originality worth protecting and potentially with a financial value.
These diagrams are two a penny e.g. http://i.imgur.com/CRLq0Y8.jpg and (this is my personal opinion) the diagram Focus produced looks like an octopus falling out of a spaghetti tree. I seriously doubt Focus is at risk of intellectual property theft and suffering financial loss by the unauthorised recreation of this diagram.
Apologies to Brainfloss for continuing to deviate from the authorised list of topics allowed on JWN.
Now, with all that said… clearly we should not really pay any attention to Caedes. He comes from Cornwall and as all UK residents will admit and studies show the further from London you are based, the lower your IQ is likely to be. I know he eats too many pasties too; there were pasty crumbs on his first and second and fourth post.
I am pretty sure I know who Caedes is, but I will not shop the docs. All I will say is in the 70’s he removed all the 19’s from year dates causing the millennium bug. In the 80s and 90s he put the CFCs in aerosols in a master plan to destroy the ozone layer. Recently I am pretty sure he has been putting horses in beef burgers.
Oh and the post below this one is probably wrong.
:O)
