This reminds me of what I've heard about newbie newspaper reporters, back in
the "golden age" of major metropolitan newspapers. The newbie reporter writes
a fine article, submits it to his boss and anxiously awaits the glorious moment
of seeing his article in print.
Imagine his disappointment when he discovers that it was shortened, rearranged,
or maybe not printed at all. In great indignation, he goes in to the boss's office
ranting about "freedom of the press".
Then the boss teaches him one of the basic lessons:
"FREEDOM OF THE PRESS ONLY PERTAINS TO THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE"
The basic fallacy of your thinking is that you have the right to use someone
else's resources to express yourself, that you have the right to rant while
JP pays the electric bill. You are full of it.
