Did you read the rest of that sentence, or did you just stop when you thought you'd nailed the commenter, and completely ignore everything else s/he said?
No, I read the whole sentence. I didn't think (and still don't think) that it changes what I was saying. Here it is in its entirety:
Maybe we are in favor of artists who obviously get it (JoCo sells his music with no DRM, in any format you want, not to mention plenty of free samples) not being plagiarized by huge media conglomerates run by ruthless fatcats without an ounce of creativity, who are still stuck in the mindset of being the gatekeepers.
In all fairness, I did use a lot of big words; perhaps monochromatic doesn't understand the meaning of the word "plagiarize". There's also that moniker; I wonder if it is arbitrary or chosen on purpose . . .

So copyright is defensible when the artist "gets it," and the infringer is a "fatcat." But not otherwise.
Got it.

It was the second one, wasn't it?

Please, enlighten me as to what I've missed.
You've missed the part where plagiarism is not the same thing as copyright infringement.

Oh I understand the difference. But I thought there was still some hypocrisy in your "it's not hypocritical" post.
As for the moniker, it's a Calvin & Hobbes reference.
