RE: Appealing the Blacklist
I have as much right to make a living from my photography as you do from whatever your employment is.

The fact that we are given the responsibility to "make a living" in a society that is entirely owned and controlled by private property owners is precisely the problem. institutions like intellectual property reinforce the delusion.
UM, everybody controls their own private property. My house is mine and not available for sharing with you - likewise my images! They are available for licensing - just like you would rent a hotel room or a car. That's my living. Sorry if you don't agree that I have a right to it, but each to his own. We live in an entitlement society and that's just it. Others feel entitled to reap the rewards from MY hard work. Neither the electrician nor the plumber will work for me for free, so I don't work for free either.
you misunderstand a house you live in is not private property it is a possession. Also that is exactly my point, everyone feels they are entitled to control the actions of others because of there beliefs. Private property is a political system of exclusion and intellectual property is an excuse for state violence. I understand your desire to retain supremacy over your art, however I think you may be missing the bigger picture. The establishment of an information state on steem.it could very well result in censorship in the name of politics other than just the belief that people own there ideas and art.
