Comment on Profit, Lies, Theft, and Idiocy - designers and developers selling out

Comments

This article is so sadly wrong and misguided. The following comes to mind: Profit in art? http://www.weareoca.com/photography/profit-in-art/ Without reading Chimero's mind, I dare to say he loves what he does, and does it so he can keep doing it. If he needs some money to start right now doing what he and I love, I'm willing to help him.

The section "Don’t be a professional idiot…or a thief" is beyond stupid. "Denying your own or someone else’s inherent value makes it quite easy for you to become a thief." There you go, if you work on free open source out of sheer enjoyment you are supposed to be a thief.

And what's up with the pompous language across the piece?
