If you're incapable of understanding it then you're incapable of
determining if it's sensible.

Weasel words. "Significant effort" (for you) is nowhere near the same
thing as "as easily as a bitstring" of 100 bits.

Are you going to start being honest?

That's no strawman.. that's the subject of this discussion, spurious
intellectual property claims pertaining to bitstrings. Seems like you
might want to brush up your argumentation skills a bit.

So far, nobody in this thread has come up with any sensible
explanation of
how copyright is applicable to bitstrings or how a system of copyright
regulations can effectively regulate peoples behavior regarding which
bitstrings
they might collect, share and exchange.
People just assume that I am stealing their pictures, because I happen
to share bitstrings that they consider to be their intellectual
property and in response to their accusations, I'm exposing their
spurious claims for the wishful thinking that it boils down to.

You don't have a clue about filesharing, that's pretty obvious by now.

But since you've already stated that you're incapable of understanding
then that particular whine isn't worth anything.

Again, you demonstrate lack of argumentation skills and fail to
comprehend the concept of a 'strawman'.

You claim bitstrings can be owned by people or corporations, I claim
that bitstrings
belong to the public domain.

You have failed miserably in both arguing your position as well as
refuting my arguments.
You are still stuck with your ludicrous claim that the originality or
uniqueness of bitstrings determines if people can claim ownership of
them without providing as much as a shred of evidence for this. Nor
are you able to specify what it means exactly for a bitstring to be
unique or original.

Classic passice-agressive dishonesty. You blame others for your own
lack of sense.
