Says the man who charges to have his photograph taken by fans

What does that have to do with any of the things he mentioned in the post?

Basically, it's ok for him to charge for his right of image, it's ok for the GPL to place limits on IP, but it's not ok for others to charge for other rights like IP or limit the ways their IP can be used (Right of image is not IP, it's a Personality right, still - and I agree with the GPL)


So you'd criticize him for speaking against any limits?


Nothing. It's a typical ad hominem attack and the parent comment either 1) doesn't understand that this does nothing to invalidate an argument or 2) doesn't care.
