“Brandon Vogt really liked the new papal encyclical but noted that the Vatican only made it available in HTML. So he worked to convert it to PDF, epub, Mobi, and more, and then he gave away these formats on his website. Whoops. Both the Vatican and the USCCB wrote to demand a takedown. Clearly, Vogt was ‘stealing from the Pope’ (really? I don’t think making other formats available causes the text to be mystically removed from the Vatican website). Also, he was accused of ‘violating the civil law.’ Multinational copyright enforcement is a legal invention of the late 19th century. It serves to block the light of truth. This is a great example of that.”
