    Who said anything about who owns the IP? Software developers get paid because people pay for their software. If no one paid for it, it would never be made. Why is this so hard to understand?

      lol I clicked your name to see if you were doing a bit, and apparently you don’t tip servers.

      People who deserve money, according to Huge Anus:

      [❌]Food service workers

      [❌]Hollywood workers

      [❌]Tech workers

      [✅]Landlords, Shareholders, copyright trolls, and IP rights giants
