“Freedom of the press does not mean that you have the right to copy what another man has written and thus to acquire the success which this other man has duly merited on account of his achievements. It means that you have the right to write something different.”
~ Ludwig Von Mises, from his Economic Policy: Thoughts for Tomorrow and Today, Lecture 1, pp 1-15.

Quote of the Day: Mises on copying another man’s work
3 comments:
We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.

That's quite a serious allegation, Jane. But the evidence you provide is pretty compelling.

Well its True.
DeletePeter has Copied FLWs writing style (that is a fact and can be easily proven).
If ONLY we could upload pic etc here I could show the proof very easily, (but Peters site here is so old , outdated and basic) we cannot even upload pics, videos or anything , He needs to upgrade this site from the 1950s (where his obvious copying is stuck in ).
As far as Peter copying FLWs designs "stye", its so obvious and pathetic.
Claude Megson NEVER "copied" FLWs style like Peter does. Claude Megson was himself, his own man with his OWN "style", unlike Peter.
Peter does not even know who he is obviously as his expression of "his" design is NOT even his own. Its a VERY stylized version of copying FLW, even including FLWs VERY personalized and unique writing style.
Like I said Peter is a hypocrite and a Copier himself and its pretty pathetic for a so called "libertarian" .
