I didn't already know your views on intellectual property, but I like learning new stuff.
Rambling about the issue, not intended to be fully-formed thoughts:
I have a personal rule that I don't work for free (that includes writing) unless it's a volunteer gig. My LJ (and yours, I assume) is unpaid writing work. It's a volunteer gig for me. Giving away some of my work (as gifts, as protest, as volunteer work) works for me. I would love to see a climate in which some of us could give it away and others can get paid for it, and now that I type that, I realize that's what we have already.
I had been planning to post already-published work for this thing, but now I think I may write something new. Not to spite you, honest. ;-)
Go eat, chica! No depriving your brain of glucose -- it's such a pretty brain, and we must not starve it.
