Copyright is an unnatural, and unethical enclosure of the public domain.

Copyright is unethical. Copyleft nullifies copyright. Copyleft doesn’t make copyright ethical, it removes its unethical privilege.

Please don’t get carried away and create copyfarleft that punches a hole into the private domain.

The fact that copyright polices the private domain does not demonstrate that policing the private domain is actually ethical in the first place.

Hesitate before you cross that threshold.
