The comments in this thread are about respecting copyright and if Tao is culturally insensitive.

Is this really “hacker” news? What the hell happened to this generation? Did the establishment win?

Something won, this place is a lot different than I remember it.

At the time of writing there is exactly one question about copyright and one question if this might be culturally insensitive.

Regarding if it's culturally insensitive, the majority that replied disagreed that it was. Maybe something like 2 comments saying it is. There's 1 that says it is, which got downvoted, and the other seems to be making a case as to why it could possibly be.

Not exactly a win in my opinion.

Intellectual property rights should be abolished.

There are countries in which there is no IP protection, it's not the utopia you think it is.

That's a slippery slope. First, it's only the Intellectual property rights, then the Intellectual property, and finally, the Intellectual.
