Dear Big Content<\/p>\n

I recently heard that you said “that there would be no culture if there was no copyright monopoly.” I guess\u00a0the library of Alexandria<\/a>\u00a0is a myth, there are no Greek\u00a0tragedies<\/a>, the\u00a0Bible<\/a>\u00a0doesn’t exist, the\u00a0Koran<\/a>\u00a0is a fairy tale, that\u00a0fairy tales<\/a>\u00a0are recent fakes, philosophy from the times of\u00a0Thales<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Aristotle<\/a>\u00a0is one of my delusions, and we do not have\u00a0extant literature<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Sophocles<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Euripides<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks for clearing that up for me.<\/p>\n
