Your downvotes suggest primate logic hard at work. You asked a question. Primates decided it must be rhetorical, and that you must mean you don't (or do), and that whichever you meant, your stance (though not voiced) must be disagreed with — downvote!

Bananas.



No, he's being downvoted because he was wrong.

If i break into someone's apartment and write a poem with their pen and paper, obviously i still own the copyright.

However, if i write code for an employer the contract almost certainly states that the employer owns my work (and in some (all?) states it's a Work for Hire). jrockway was purposefully making an argument that does not apply in the situation or make sense, and he is being downvoted for it.

I do not appriciate ad hominem attack against those that downvoted a trollish comment.
