Great video man, this was very well thought out. However I noticed you didn't talk about artistic ownership in this video. And I know when we were talking about this in RL you were still trying to figure out your stance. Any luck?

This video should be featured. Definetly.

Very good Eric, I really don't understand why you don't have atleast 100 000 subs. People are missing out.

I love your commentary on this subject, you are very insightful!

I also love the catcher in the rye end bumper thing. So good. <3

your outro....it looks like the cover of the Catcher in the Rye book I own ;)

Kind of reminds me of something John Green said (I think it was him) ... "Writers are thieves"

Dear Eric,

I want to have your children. The moments it becomes genetically viable, I'll give you a call.

Originality will never be dead!

Just my opinion ;)

I really like this video. It kinda got repetitive, but your point was well elaborated with examples.

I was introduced to the term appropriate during art school. You aren't quite stealing or copying, you are appropriating, and that is entirely acceptable. At least, in the art creating world.

I love this video, man. Stealing is way better than copying. I never even thought about that. Definitely intuitive. I've been inspired to steal from you.

Great video, Eric! I like your open-mindedness.
